Hi Chris,
You've come to the right place and NO you did not gross me out. I had rectal caner, been there, done that. I'm not saying you have cancer, but rectal bleeding is NOT NORMAL. You need to see a Dr an get a proper diagnoses. Your problem could be cause by many things, cancer is just one item on a check list of many, as are hemerroids. But if you do have cancer, you really want it check out the sooner the better.
Do you have any other symptoms like, pain when passing a bowel, mucus discharge, weight loss, tiredness, etc.
Try not to worry, but do get it checked out.
