I had a sig scope not that long ago. Blood on poo, often pencil thin output, one time a pool of blood came out of me. Sounded to me like a tumor had come back even though I am currently on Folfox. GI DR diagnosed me over the phone as bleeding hemeroids and called in an RX for a cream. Oh, I was annoyed. Picked up the cream and started using it. Called DR office back and insisted on the sig scope. Had to wait a few weeks and diagnosis was...non bleeding internal hemorrhoids. The cream worked. Just the same, with my history, I am going to push for every test that gives me peace of mind. Try not to worry until you get the results. Hugs.
