Colorectal Cancer
Hello respected Doctors,
Greetings and hope you and your family doing safe. I have a very stupid and weird query. My best friend's Grand Pa who is 88 year's old has been diagnosed with colorectal Cancer. It's Grade 1 and would be undergoing surgery. So I visited the hospital to see him. After I came back I hold my stool for good five hours. I also fainted in the hospital looking at other patients. Those were all Cancer patients. I am strong girl though. Living alone on my own. My question is because of seeing her Grandpa and holding my stool I have become severely constipated. So I diagnosed on Google that I have also got colon cancer. I am not passing any black stool or blood.. I am not diabetic. Nor have thyroid issues. I am scared that I have also got colon cancer. What tests are required. I am 38 yrs old female and unmarried.
Thnx and regards.
