    That’s what the GP said. It’s hard to stay rational when you see blood though!

    Re: Bowel Cancer Fear

    I’m still here fretting about bowel cancer :( I cut myself some slack over the past couple of weeks while I dealt with my annual mammogram and decided not to look down the toilet to give myself a break mentally.

    Anyway, I decided not to live in denial and after straining yesterday there was blood again. So now my mind has completely gone crazy, I spent 3 hours last night googling bowel cancer.

    I guess I will have to now try and get a flexible sigmoidoscopy done, I’m petrified!! Has anyone else experienced bleeding from piles which isn’t relieved by creams? My GP said I have internal piles and a possible tear. I’m just so fearful it’s cancer.

    It really doesn't sound like cancer to me.

    I have had bleeding this week as well but don't give it a second thought now as I have had it before.

    If you will only be reassured with procedures being done then by all means ask the doctor for a referral (if they will do it)

    I think I’m going to have to pluck up the courage and ring the doctors again.

    Surely piles would have settled down again by now.

    I keep thinking perhaps the GP didn’t feel any internal piles, just said that to shut me up!!

    Unfortunately I’ve been let down by a doctor in the past who said I didn’t have a lump in my breast, when in actual fact I did and I had breast cancer. Doesn’t fill me with hope!!

    In more encouraging news, I’ve been using a sitz bath, staying hydrated and keeping my bowel motions soft which has seemed to help the issue.

    I'm really sorry about your situation and I hope you've managed to find a way out of it. Give us an update on your situation, please. Diagnosing colon cancer is an individualized, case-by-case procedure. The process includes clinical examinations, tests, and imaging investigations. The precise diagnosis comes after performing cytological tests, which clearly establish the nature of the cells, the biopsy being the sure method to confirm colon cancer. Fortunately, doctors can cure colon cancer if identified and treated correctly. At fenbenlab.com, you can find various Fenbendazole options in powder and capsule form in differing volumes.

    Hi, thanks for checking in on me. I’m currently waiting for a flexible sigmoidoscopy to check on these piles. I don’t seem to have a problem when I don’t strain to pass a bowel movement.
