Hello everyone. About three years I
began having rectal bleeding, thinking
nothing of it, I assumed it was hemroids.
Some time went by, enough to where I had
forgotten about the occassion and then it
happened again. The second time I finally
realized it was coming from my rectum and
began to worry. The third occassion
worried me the most; I had went to the
bathroom early in the morning (as always)
and had a bowel movement. In the toliet
was a mixture of blood and stool, but more
blood, and this clear mucus with a pinkish
tint. Wondering what it was I was curious
because I never had seen anything like
this before, I got a little bit on the
toliet paper and tried to make out what it
was. It had these little raised white
bumps on it, even if you turned the toliet
paper to the side to look at it you could
easily tell the bumps were raised.
These are but a few rectal
incidents that have ocurred with me, and
i'm a mother of 2 and a loving
wife/grandmother and in desperate need of
some advice or support as to know what
this may be. If anyone could please
respond to me asap I would greatly
appreciate it.

Hi, please call your primary care physican
and have him/her make a referreal to a
gastro Dr. Anytime there is bright red
blood/mucous, you should have this
checked. You did say this has been going
on for some time. You have children and
grandchildren to live for, so take
yourself to the doctor and have this
situation looked into before it gets any
worse. My father just passed away 4
months ago from colon cancer.I too am 49,
and just recently had my first
colonoscopy! I went through almost the
same thing you are. Mine turned out to be
nothing but a tear. I am good to go. If
for nothing else, go for your peace of
mind. Its best to catch anything early,
than to delay and worry and allow things
to get worse!

Thank you very much. Do you think these
symptoms maybe be associated with colon
cancer?

Hey Girl Posted: 08-01-06 14:53pm
I have no idea the symptoms of colon
cancer, I do know blood coming from your
"butt" isn't a good thing...It could very
well be an internal hemm. Or it could be
a number of things. I had no intentions
on upsetting you or implying the big "c".
I had pain going and bleeding.......Severe
pain and lots of blood. I do not recall
any mucous. Pm me if you'd like!

Have you seen a Dr. Yet or made a
appt.?
If you feel as though you need to go to a
er during these times then by all means
"go".
But blood in stool can be so many dif
things and we are all afraid of the big c,
but there are so many things that could be
wrong and prob most or all of them need
treated 1 way or another. Hope fully you
will find out it is something that can be
taken care of easily. So take a deep
breath and call the Dr.
