A member asked:
My mom says she feels like there is a snake like thing moving aroun her lower abodomen, bad pain when it "moves" what could it be? could it be cancer?

Possible: What your mother feels is likely to be gas moving through the intestine. The sensation may be worsened due to partial obstruction and one cause of obstruction is cancer. It would be prudent for her to see her doctor.
