Bowel Cancer ?

 

Hi everyone

Im wondering if anyone can help, my Nan had a lump on her right hand side,  she recently went to the doctor who sent her for a CT scan and they found something on her bowel, she was supposed to have a procedure today but unfortunately the laxative medicine they gave her just made her vomit for most of the night so she couldn’t have the Colonoscopy. I’m extremely worried that this could be Bowel Cancer. She tends to get extreme pain after eating but we thought maybe she had developed an intolerance to something now I’m wondering if this is connected? Does anyone have any similar experiences? 

Thank you

    I'm sorry to hear that your Nan has been experiencing some health concerns and that she was unable to have her tests as planned. Have the hospital rescheduled them or been able to offer an alternative? 

    It's understandable that you're concerned about what may be causing her symptoms and only natural that you're worried about things. Unfortunately it's not possible for us to say what may be causing the lump and the pain after eating. 

    I really hope that your Nan doesn't have to wait too long for her tests and the results. Keep in touch and let us know how things go. 

    Best wishes,
