I’m worried I have small intestine cancer. Was diagnosed with FAP 15 years ago, colon was removed 7 years ago, and my takedown was done in October of 2016. No cancer at that time, but I did have polyps on my bile ducts, near the liver prior to surgery. Fast forward 7 years, everything had been fine and I’m about to get married — but have started having odd symptoms for the last 2 weeks…. Watery diarrhea, abdominal pain as soon as I eat anything, Bright red blood on toilet paper (I do have hemorrhoids though) and I don’t feel like I can fully empty. Frequency is normal, so it’s not pouchitis. Am really concerned. Have had polyps reform on the bile ducts about three or four years ago and have left them alone until now because when I had my upper Endoscopy the first time, I am most died by bleeding to death the next day at home due to a mishap during the procedure, so I’ve been afraid to have it done again all this time. Even more concerning, I recently moved across the country, so it’s taking forever in my new location to get a referral, and my old doctor back home is not being very quick to respond either. I called today, and was told to scheduling department would call me back in two days. Not sure what to do, but am really concerned. Someone realistically please tell me that this doesn’t have to be small intestine cancer and I don’t have to tell my fiancé that she will be a widow shorty after our wedding…
