It started off about 45 days ago...First sign was bloody stool with mucus ..Then the 2st sign real bad cramps...The number of times a day I went to the bathroom was fast approxing 10 or 12 a day...And I travel a lot with my job (Airport restrooms are not the best and the plane restrooms are terrible)...After a few real black bowel movements it was time for a doctor visit...I went to my primary doctor and his answer was hemmroids....Well after about 10 more bleeding days and NOT to mention my blood levels for my bloodthinner was getting seriously low (blood cloting could happen at the new heart valve)....After talking with my Cardioligist he suggested a Gastro. doctor and with that visit a semicolonscopy was performed (a couple polys were found)....After going 14 more days we decided to do a Colonscopy was performed and the polyps and a few samples were taken and with great relief NO cancer was detected (Only Colitis and IBS)....
