I went to the ER last night because I had horrible abdominal pain and rectal bleeding. I had explosive diarrhea earlier along with sweating, low body temperature(96.2F) and horrible nausea with pain. I saw blood mixed in with the stool flecks and brown blood when I wiped. The ER doctor was very dismissive of me and did no testing. He said that I should only worry when I'm passing blood clots. I know that's wrong because I didn't have clots with my tumor nor with ischemic colitis in 2015. I was told by my family doctor and the GI that I needed to be seen when I have rectal bleeding! I'm eating some this morning and the cramping has already started. I will have liquids the rest of the day if I get bad again. If the bleeding starts again I will go back to the ER!
I don't see the GI until November 21st and my yearly CT scan isn't scheduled until December 12th! My family doctor couldn't get it scheduled any sooner. Maybe the GI could but I doubt it.
