Hi Robert,

I am Martin from Southampton uk.

First , get a cat scan . ASAP.

Bowel cancers are slow growing normally but time is important.

Good luck

I would suggest to have a COLONOSCOPY a.s.a.p. To my understanding that is the most definitive DIAGNOSTIC TOOL if you suspect colon cancer. Good luck!!!

My husband had a colonoscopy which showed nothing, he then had a CT Scan which showed Duodenal Cancer, this is the small bowel, ask for a CT Scan

I agree with Gerlinde

I usually ask for an endoscopy as well as the colonoscopy - I understand the scope can go into the duodenum !!!
