Bowel cancer

Hi 

I'm a 43 year old male ,I ve never smoked and dont drink and I try and keep myself fit, about 12 weeks ago I started to have problems swallowing, some foods go down ok but some take around 2-4 attempts to go down ,saliva is the same ,fluids are ok ,4 weeks later sinuses started clicking along with ear canal clicking and soft palet , I feel bloated all the time and constantly burping as soon as I've had fluids or something to eat ,my stools are small and thin but there is no blood, I had a full ct scan in july that was clear and a full bloods done last week and that was clear ,I'm haveing camera put down on Saturday  ,I'm a ex soldier so I've normally got a strong  mental attitude, but for some reason this had really got me worried, would there be markers on a full blood count if it was cancer.

Any advice is hugely appreciated. 

God bless.

  • Hello

    Sorry I dont have any advise to give, just wanted to reach out and say hi... I am waiting on an emergency colonoscopy after a CT scan showed thickening of the bowel wall and I have jumped straight to the worst in my head! ... but keep reading through these threads, theres so many positive stories and advise, its helped me a lot. 

    From what I know, a blood test cannot tell you if theres cancer, only seeing it and having biopsies can do that.

    I really hope you get some answers on saturday... and remember you dont have to be strong all the time! 

     

    Good luck x

  • Hi I hope you don’t mind me contacting you - I know your post was over three years ago but I wondered what the outcome was for you. I too have had a ct scan which showed bowel wall thickening and wondered how you are getting in now?
