Hi Friends,
My first symptom was rectal bleeding. I went to visit my cousin; she just had her first baby, my first niece.
I was sitting on the toilet and I felt a weird sensation and heard little droplets splashing in the toilet bowl. When I looked, blood was dripping out of my rectum.
It scared me to death and I called my mother to tell her and she said not to worry because it happened to her and it was only hemorrhoids.
It occurred last year November and I never got any more symptoms until recently in June this year. All the years of having period cramps this was like none other I had ever experienced before. From that night I haven't seemed to improve, I've only gotten worse and more symptoms are occurring. So after I got back from my trip, I was still sick and now I am having these symptoms:
-constant diarrhea.
-black tarry stools/sometimes constipated/thin stools/lots of mucus.
-feels like I haven't completely finished having a bowl movement.
-I've lost weight
I have planned an ultrasound, but so far doctors have done:
-Upper G.I scope
-Numerous of blood tests
-Two stool samples
Of course I hope its not cancer, but I can't shake off the feeling that it might be that. I feel lost and alone.
