Hello doctor, I lost a lot of weight, fat, and a bit of muscle loss with abdominal pain and bluntness. I also am stressed and anxious about it. I had blood work done with ultrasound and chest x-ray. Also, I had urine examined for blood and everything came back great. No problems in those areas. Because of the Coronavirus, colonoscopies and gastroenterology are not available. If I had colon cancer or tumor or something serious, will the blood and ultrasound show that something is not right? I am currently on Cirpaex 10 mg.
Hello,  Welcome to icliniq.com. How much weight exactly did you lose? Since when you are having symptoms? If we consider there is significant weight loss, then other specific symptoms are expected with malignancies like constipation or diarrhea, malena or symptoms pertaining to other systems if we consider issues elsewhere in the body. Also, ultrasound would have shown some mass. Although ultrasound may miss the tumor in early stages, since you are having significant weight loss and long duration of symptoms, tumor would be beyond the early stage. And the probability of malignancy is less at this age group. But we are not comfortable unless we find some alternative causes like gastric issues like chronic gastritis, diet changes, frequent indigestions, or any other changes or factors which could explain weight loss if it is significant. If there is any addiction like smoking, alcohol, or drugs it should be reduced. You may have antacids like capsule Cyra D or Pan DSR (Pantoprazole) for a few days, if you have any gastric symptoms like bloating, burping, upper abdominal pain or heartburn. I guess the doctor must have examined you for lymph nodes in the neck and femoral region. I hope this helps.
