Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I just joined this group yesterday and perhaps I'm jumping the gun, but after routine testing for a long overdue physical, the results came back that there is blood in my stool. All six samples had blood, so I failed the test positively. I need to have a colon scope test, which I hear is nothing these days because they knock you out. The worst part about it is the pre-op. Well, the first thing I did when I came home, was pick up my copy of the Merck manual and looked up my particular symptoms and unfortunately, color cancer has what I'm going through and have been going through for almost two years now. It said the first sign of color cancer is blood in the stool. It must be tested because you can't see the blood--which is true in my case. Fatique and tiredness is another symptom, though I think that's pretty normal for an active lifestyle. Who isn't tired these days?? Yet another warning sign is anemia. I am anemic. Is any of this sounding familiar to any of you? In regards to age and gender--I'm almost 48 and a white female. Jinny thebirdlover@...
