Who am I? Let's hope that you never have to link me to this post. That I'm wrong and medically I'm fine. I'm online often so do you know me? Probably. Am I your friend? Most likely. This is why I would really like each of you to read this all of the way through. Think of me as your friend. Think of this as a way that you could save my life.

Last summer I began noticing small amounts of blood in my feces. (Bluntly, for noobs, poop.) I know that it's completely disgusting, but that's the whole truth of it all.  Now blood in feces is an indicater of one of two things.
 A) Hemerhoid
 B) Colon cancer.

I spoke with my mother about this and she waved it off as probably a hemerhoid so I took heed in that and let the topic slide. Nearly a year has gone by and I still have this problem with bleeding. The bleeding is quite heavy now, and it's pretty much present in all feces. I could get more graphic into it but I really don't want too.

Scared, I looked up symptoms of colon cancer and discovered that I do have a lot of symptoms. However, I have symptoms of the other too.

Now I feel really stupid. If I do turn up having cancer, there is a great likelihood that it could have spread and there is a very small chance that I would survive more than a few years. All because I didn't go in originally.

So my questions are these;

Have you ever had a hemerhoid? How much blood did you lose? Was it a significant amount? Did it last a year?

Please help me. I really need to know.

yeah a hemnoroid will bleed, it can be internal or external, external you'll be able to see and touch it, internal not so much, is the blood dark or light?

---

light.

---

it seems to me that if it was some sort of cancer, that it would of spread enough for you to start feeling some discomfort of sorts. nonetheless, i would think this calls for an immediate doctor's visit.

---

I really..REALLY hope this is the case. I'm making one for Monday.

internal hemmaroids cause bleeding but no discomfort, and if they're left unchecked, its possible they could get worse. but theres really nothing i can say that would help this. the only thing to do here is to go see a doctor asap.
