Do i have cancer? loose stools3x per day sticky, vague nausea for 1 year. cbc and stool occult normal. small iron def. anemia.

Need to examine: Iron deficiency anemia in women is usually due to menstrual blood loss. Diarrhea itself is not a marker for cancer, you are unlikely to have it. However, it would be prudent to consult a gastroenterologist as there may be treatment for you and you may not need to put up with loose stools 3x per day. Wish you good health.
