Hiya Bigtruck, The consultants name is Dr Bell, hes based in the private clinic in Stranmillis to the best of my knowledge. The Dr I see is in the RVH, his name is Copeland and is very good at what he does, considering he is in his early 40s, very reassuring, sympathetic and patient. Dr Bell is very interested in my case as to the bowel canncer running on my mothers side and the cancer of the stomach running on my fathers side. Dont know if theres a link myself but Im no doctor.
As to wether or not any of these symptoms are related to the job? I doubt it, but it is very painful holding it in even for short periods of time, and if i need to vomit its usually the side of the road that gets it, either way its not normal.
I really do think that this sort of thing needs more awareness raised than present, and more incentives to promote screening, as it is cancer, may not be the most ruthless but doesnt discriminate and DOES kill.
Regards
Kev
