Has anyone had mets to bowel from their BC? Or even had colon cancer on top of BC? I am having this funny sensation around the rectum area feels like liquid floating around. No diarrhea or constipation or other symptoms. Also wonder if its lymphedema draining from the area area. Don't even know who to ask the oncologist or my primary physician. Always something to worry about.

Hi,
I have never heard of it, but I have been told and have also read that there is a link between breast cancer and colon cancer. It seems that if you have one you are somewhat at a higher risk to develop the other. Also, if there is a history of one of those types of cancer in the family, you are at an increased risk of developing either one of them. Your primary dr can refer you to an internist. Hope this helps.
