Cecum tumor

Well, I don't know what to think. I would be more inclined to think the mold would manifest itself with lung problems before it would these other things.

In my and my husband's close family we have several types of cancer, heart attacks and strokes, hypertension, diabetes (types 1 & 2), muscular dystrophy, asthma and severe allergies, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Crohn's, UC, Bipolar, depression (that caused suicides), renal disease, COPD, and Cystic Fibrosis. Those are the things I can think of. The generation under me in my family (nieces, nephews, daughter) has an unusually high incidence of chronic illness, including thyroid cancer at age 18, lifelong asthma and allergies, CD and UC, congenital heart defects, bipolar and depression.

I don't know if we're typical or on the "really crappy genes" side of the equation when it comes to disease in my family. There are so many factors one has to figure in. I do genealogy research and it makes me think about these types of things. One being that before modern medicine, people died of communicable diseases probably before they would have developed some other type of genetically predisposed illness and/or passed those genes along to other generations. It's not unusual to see rows of little headstones in family plots where families lost many children when they were young, before the onset of antibiotics and sulfa drugs.

Sorry about the mix up. Since the cecum is part of the GI tract, at the junction between the colon and small intestine, you may have to be less specific when searching for information. Has the tumor been biopsied? It sounds like from your description that the tumor is causing a blockage, which could be causing those symptoms.

My daughter googled "cecum tumor" and found information under that term and "cecum carcinoma" also.
