Hello Lillybooboo,

Welcome to the club that people would prefer not to join!

I am Type 1 diabetic and had a swollen ankle for some months which, after X rays etc., remained unexplained. It was only because of a long-term period of troublesome diarrhoea that I was sent for a colonoscopy where a large rectal tumour was discovered straight away. If you click on my name you can read a summary of the diagnosis and treatment I received to successfully remove the tumour, together with a sense of timescale.

Bowel cancer usually develops slowly and can be treated with good results, as you will find if you explore these pages further. It takes time, so stick with it.

Thank you so much for replying ( should have mentioned I was also suffering chronic diarrhoea

everything seemed to suddenly happen so quickly that I feel a bit over whelmed 

thankfully my diabetes blood test was normal but have to be checked year ( 5 family member all diabetic

Hi Lillybooboo and a warm welcome from me, ascites is the build up of fluid in the tummy and shifting dullness is the examination test they do to diagnose it, take care.

Hello. 
My husband has NAFLD stage 4 and is tea total. 
He was told by his consultant with attitude that it was his affluent life style. 
In other words it was his diet but I also think that the ten tablets that he’s been taking for his heart hasn’t helped his liver or kidneys 

Best wishes
