My dad had the camera's down him belly and also up.. with in a few minutes we knew they had found something as the Dr could not go any further. right there and then he said it was "Cancer" Like that no explanation just the big C. biopsies where taken and were sent off to check but was told surgery would be happening by the 16th. Waiting is the hardest bit. and to be told that hen to be left hanging there. dad was then send for a CT scan a weeks later that was 30/08/10 and he go the results on the 03/09/10 its spread so its dukes stage 4 its spread to the liver and the lungs. He would not be having the operation and is know at present waiting on the chemo nurse or what ever to see whats going to be done. so thats the story so far.. but 5 years ago he was diognised with Leakemia wich he has gotten over and its all over again...
