Colon Cancer Support Group
Colorectal cancer, also called colon cancer or bowel cancer, includes cancerous growths in the colon, rectum and appendix. Many colorectal cancers are thought to arise from mushroom-like growths that are usually benign, but some may develop into cancer over time. The majority of the time, the diagnosis of localized colon cancer is through colonoscopy.
Hi all
I hope everyone is well :)
I am having some issues and while I don't think it is colon cancer I was wondering if everyone could give me some insights??
First some background info;
I am a 20 year old woman, I have endometriosis which causes great pain. While I am going back to my gyno on October 19th I am also having concerning issues else where. I am finding when I have a BM I have a lot of bright red blood, this is getting more severe when I have a BM. To the point now I will drip red blood, and wipe away continuously a lot of blood after a have a BM. At times even when I have a BM it will be a bloody pooey wipe. I've told my mum about this and next week when I go to my GP I will be bringing this up. Mum isn't sure if it's haemorroid, something to do with my endo or poylps. My mum has a very strong hystory with Polyps, although she was a lot older when it was discovered she doesn't want me to let it go as when they caught her's she was told any longer and she'd be needing a bag for the rest of her life, it almost destroyed her bowel.
Of late I am finding I feel bloated also and when I have a BM It feels like constipation with my stools NOT being hard at all, in fact they are quite 'normal'
For the last few days I have felt extremely fatigued, and sick every time I eat. I am so confused as to whats going on... endo, or not? it feels like endo pain but also alongside other issues?
Any insights??

The best place to get this is your doctor and the sooner the better. If it is only minor then that knowledge will be a relief and you will not be worrying for nothing.
If it is something more complicated then the sooner the docs strart to cure it the better the outcome. And you can expend your energy doing what you need to get well.
I wish you well and will have you in my prayers G8
I am deffinately going to the doctor today. My endometriosis has me in agony. And I will bring up this other issue while I am there.
Thankyou for your time :) :)
