Hi, 

I attended my GP today as I have had a pain over a week in my lower right hand side. I have been struggling to pass a stool which has been really soft when I do, I also have a lot of wind, the pain is really localised and hurts if there is pressure applied like sitting up or if I twist a certain way, its causing more pain to walk too. They examined me and were concerned as I have in the last 12 months extremely low folate and vitamin D levels. I have lost a bit of weight since August about stone there or there abouts too. 

They have referred to onto the cancer pathway so hopefully I will have more answers soon. They did mention it could possibly be cancer as a lot of symptoms are present but they need to rule it out also. 

Can I ask if anyome has experience of right sided colon cancer and what your symptoms were / are? This has wiped me off my feet and I have been thinking about it all day. I am hoping it is something else but I also realistic after meeting with the GP and would like to prepare myself for worst case scenario. 

Regards Kevin
