This is the 8:00 poster. Does she still have her gallbladder? Those of us who've had them removed have a higher chance of colon cancer. If caught early, it has a very good recovery rate. My housemate's was stage 2 and they were able to remove it all with surgery.

Maybe, she can call around to different testing facilities and see if they have an appointment sooner.

I should have been more clear with that last sentence. She could call around to see if someone else can do the colonoscopy sooner.

Not the OP but I had my gallbladder removed and have never heard this. Any sources?

I read about it online and discussed it with my doctor prior to my surgery. There was a study done in the UK that showed a significant increase. I'm sure you can find it via Google.

I probably will when I get to that point. I'm in my early 30s. I'm doing the recommended things, such as changing my diet and losing weight.

Not that poster, but one whose parents had colon cancer. The normal age to start colonoscopies is 50, and they told me to start at 40 for the genetic risk. It's something I'd definitely ask the doctor about, but after hearing about this risk (and googling it), I wouldn't wait past age 40 if it were me.

I will discuss with my doctor when I get closer to 40. The increased risk is easy to understand. Your gallbladder stored bile for use as needed. Now, there is a constant drip of bile, a strong acid, directly into your colon. Over time, it can cause damage to the tissues.

OP again -

She had her blood drawn again this morning. Waiting for the results.
She asked the doc about ovarian cancer and celiac, but the doc says she is pretty darn sure the bleeding is coming from her colon. Mind you, the blood is trace blood - not like its gushing (not to be gross).

If the count has gone down, they are going to push the colonoscopy up.As of now, it is scheduled for the end of December.

Last test showed her blood count at 25, which is REALLY low.

She has not had her gallbladder removed.
