Problem is now,,,,,,,,,,3 weeks later....he is in pain...yes, in his intestinal area(probably colon & liver) He talked to primary dr but she won't prescribe anything for his pain. simply told him to contact hospice............he is not open to doing that & my mother is also saying no to hospice. I have call into the cancer dr to see if there is anything he could prescribe to help him w/pain. My dad is able to get around but it gets uncomfortable later in the day...and he has to sit down.
My question is............what is effective to give him some relief from the pain? Any advice is appreciated....and should the cancer dr prescribe if something??? If not, is it possible the heart dr will??? THA NK YOU........for any and all help!! this is driving the family apart............I totally respect my dad's wishes to not seek treatment but it breaks my heart that noone is helping him deal w/the pain.View Thread

I'm new here and have had my 2nd colonoscopy. I'm now suppose to have this surgery new week and I'M SCARED!!! I'm also Diabetic, have stage 2-3 Kidney disease. I've had LCIS & then also they found DCIS after doing biopsy. I go in tomorrow for labs & chest x-rays.
How long will I be in the Hospital and what's it going to be like with part of my large colon gone?

Take the Poll
- The reason why your doctor asks you to step on a scale every time you visit? Its not the weight from a single visit that's significant...Its a change in weight that often signals something's not right.
- Please read the following: The Cleveland Clinic's Nissen has seen firsthand what happens when doctors, armed with too much information, perform what turn out to be unnecessary procedures. In 2009 a 52-year-old woman with chest pain underwent a cardiac CT at a community hospital. Neither her LDL (bad) cholesterol nor her C-reactive protein (another risk factor for heart disease) were elevated. But since the CT showed several coronary plaques, her physicians performed coronary angiography. Complications ensued, and the woman wound up undergoing more procedures, one of which tore an artery. She eventually went to the Cleveland Clinic for a heart transplant—not because she had heart disease when it all started, says Nissen, but because of the cascading interventions triggered by the CT scan. It is well documented that certain particular areas of medicine often encounter the charge of "over treatment by guilty of screening"...cancer, heart disease and back pain treatment, most notable.
- Its often said among medical professionals that the worst screening result for a smoker, a diabetic or an obese patient is a negative scan. The reason is obvious...They won't change.
Maybe your doctor is really saying, "I promise not to ignore your condition. In the meantime, please live as healthy as you possibly can."
Then, again, maybe not...

Also, after a BM, I can fell a bulge or balloon like protrusion popping out the anus. Is this part of the burning issue? My butt feels raw. I have no idea what is going on. Have I not found the right colon rectal doctor yet?
Yes, I did have a colonoscopy approximately 4 years ago removing 1 polyp.View Thread
