Suggest Treatment For Bloating And Severe Lower Abdominal Pain While Having Colon Cancer

default
Posted on Wed, 11 Jan 2017
Question: Good morning, I am a 62 year old female. I believe that I have advanced colon cancer. I am going for a colonoscopy on Tuesday. I had a clean colonoscopy three years ago. My gyn says go every 2, late on that, Gastro says 5 but my dad had "FAP" A few weeks back I was feeling very bloated thought normal weight gain. On 12/5 & 12/6 I had severe lower abdominal pain and pressure - thought it was gyn and was reminded that I was due for my colonoscopy. I have had right pelvic pain and leg pain to knee cap - never thought much about it since I fractured my left foot years ago and my gait has been off. I walk in the evening power thru. but in doing my research I found it is due to colon cancer reaching the liver. I am losing weight, is that from anxiety or fullness. I have wormy pencil stools, and blood in stools. the side of my face is tingley and I have a yellow ting to my skin. My blood work came out without no warnings from family doctor. My left side abdominal is larger than my right side. I have been drinking a tea "Baida Natural Slimming Tea" once a week for the past year or more. (I also have no gallbladder) so I tend to get bound - the tea says enjoy a cup daily. In researching the indegrients it says it is a precursor for colon cancer and then I found another site that says it can tear the lining of the colon. I am really scared. I believe that it all thru my body. Thank you.
