I've never heard of cancer being misdiagnosed as hemmerhoids, but I'm not a medical doctor. I know when I had my scope done, the doctor said they were doing a biopsy, but she was 99.9% sure it was cancer (and it was). From all I've read here of others experiences, the difference between cancer and hemmerhoids seems to be pretty evident.
