Maybe: A physician office visit and appropriate studies will settle this. Hopefully and most likely it's something simpler (has your thyroid been checked?) but you'll need to do this. Good luck.

Hopefully no: Odds are it is not cancer but could be. At your age (53) you should have had a screening colonoscopy, especially if there is family history. If you have not, schedule one right away.
