A member asked:
I've been experiencing symptoms of colon cancer. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastroenterologist: I would immediately consult with a gastroenterologist or colorectal surgeon. You may need simple blood tests and perhaps a colonoscopy to determine what is going on along the internal lining of your entire colon before determining whether or not you have an actual lesion. Other imaging studies may be performed as well.
