New member & Scared!

Postby Trying2Understand » Sat Sep 12, 2015 9:34 pm

Hey guys, anything is helpful. I do have a doctors appointment set up for next week but I'm so scared of what it could be! I just had my daughter 2 months ago but I don't want to put it past me that it could've just been from me being pregnant recently. Here's what I had..
I have seen bright red blood in the last 3 days. The first day the entire toilet was covered in bright red blood after a bm, the second day bm, there was nothing in the toilet but when I wiped there was bright red blood. Then the third day after a bm, there was 2 drops of blood and bright red when I wiped. Has anyone had this as symptoms that led to colon cancer?

Anything helps! Thank you!

It's possible that it's CR cancer, but probably not likely. Still, you want to follow up. Blood in stool was what made me get a colonoscopy, and I was unlucky, since it turned out I did have cancer. I do think you should get a colonoscopy, just on the chance there might be something bad going on down there.
