Should we worry?

[Guest guest]

Ok , here's the deal ,

Joe is having yet another bout with diarrhea , thats like his 6th time in the

last 4 weeks,

The diarrhea never lasts more than 2 days at a time, but when it strikes he has

to go at least several times an hour for a period of 6-12hours ,

This is a man who only missed 7 days of work in 8years before cancer, now has

missed 3 days in the last few weeks , due to the diarrhea, in fact he had to

come home one night because of it

He has tried pepto, imodum a.d. nothing works , it just hits him all of a

sudden and he is down for the count until it decides to stop. Along with the

diarrhea, he gets abdominal pain.

He had CT scan yesterday for checkup , but wont know the results til the 26th of

Oct when he has checkup with surgeon.

He has also been exhausted lately , 2 weeks ago he worked on brother in laws

roof after work , but he is STILL exhausted, so I dont know if the exhaustion is

from that and working or ??????

My question is ,

1. Should we be worried ( I am )

2. Should we call the doc

3. IF so which one , Onc., surgeon . or family doc???????????

Thanks
