Have I got rectal cancer?

[LunarCoffee]

Thanks so much for reassuring me

I was such an idiot, I thought I was feeling my intestines

But now I'm convinced a tumour in the colon is pushing against the wall or something which is causing it to bulge out slightly. But it's like 30 minutes before I see the doctor for answers (hopefully answers, not presumptions like "Oh it's hemherroids") so I'm just gonna see what they say instead of opening up a new can of worms

Yeah as I mentioned, 30 minutes until I go to the doctors and I'm terrified about the rectal exam they'll probably do

Good luck, I bet you're all fine without cancer.

Anyway, if there were tumors big enough to make a bulge, then you'd most certainly not feel fine. You'd probably be nauseated all the time, and probably even vomit. Also, the reports I read on 15-19 year olds getting CRC all reported colicky abdominal pain, which is really really really bad intermittent pain (but it was through the entire day).
