Right now I am totally scared I have colon cancer. My grandmother had it in her 60's and it's hereditary. I have had bad constipation for the last three days, meaning I haven't gone to the bathroom AT ALL. A good facebook friend of mine has colon cancer and she added me to her cancer support group several months ago. Since I have had this constipation since Monday, I have asked members of the group if it's indeed a sign of colon cancer.
Every single person said that constipation was their very first indicator they had colon cancer. Now I'm super scared and going to make an appointment with my doctor. Several members of the group have already passed from the disease. I do not want to die yet! I am looking forward to being a grandmother some day. I have also been having these darned chest pains still and now they are worse since I'm under such stress. Cancer is my worst nightmare. I need good thoughts/prayers/reassurance everything will be okay!
