Daniel asks…
Would colon cancer show up on an ultrasound test?
I know that Yahoo isn’t the place to ask questions, but i’m just trying to get a better idea on what’s going on with my dad… His doctor thinks he has Diverticulosis, but he is going in on Friday to test for colon cancer because of continuous abdominal discomfort and blood in stools. He has taken both blood tests, and and ultra sound test, both coming out normal.. i was just wondering if there were to be colon cancer, would anything abnormal show up on either tests? I’m terrified)’:
Admin answers:
Rectal ultrasound can detect a mass.
Abdominal ultrasound will not.
Agree with the others that colonoscopy would be helpful.
CT scan will show diverticulosis and may also show a colonic mass however the colonoscopy will find a mass and can biopsy to determine if it is benign or malignant.
Good luck!
Sandra asks…
What’s a good diet for a colon cancer patient?
Can you give me some foods that help fight colon cancer and some foods we should avoid.
Admin answers:
All of this advice depends on the person’s health status. For example, does he/she have trouble eating, are they undergoing treatment of any kind that can cause certain side effects and affect the way they eat, are they physically active (THEY SHOULD BE), etc. Visit this site
