So hereis a bit about my medical background to start with. 8 years ago I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, ibs and diverticulitis disease. Last May I had acute pancreatitus probably cause by gallstones. August last year got my gallbladder removed. Febuary this year ended up in hospital with pancreatitus again. Now diagnosed with chronic pancreatitus. Just over a month ago I started getting blood in my stool. So I have been examined and I have no hemaroids that they could see or feel. My stool test result came back yes blood in stool. I have been getting my normal pain from pancreas and liver. Oh yeah my levels are never normal in my liver. When I now goto the toilet when I feel I need to go no actual stool comes out but fleshy looking things with blood. Every once in a while there will be darker stool with blood all showing in the water but very small like a thumb nail size. I'm waiting for a colonoscoply as it was put through as urgent. So yes as you can tell I'm worried. I am going to put a picture on. Sorry if it's disgusting but it's real life. Sorry for gibbering on I guess I'm hoping someone might know something

Hi Bubleicious, You certainly have a few health issues. You are getting a colonoscopy which will determine what the problem is. It could be anything, as some of us have found out after being worried, no cancer. At least something is being done and you can get on dealing with it. Hope it all goes well for you. I will say that after having 4 benign polyps removed I now will have a colonoscopy every 3 years.
Thank you for posting on Colon Cancer Connected. I hate to see you are having to deal with a lot of issues. I am glad to see you are on track to get another colonoscopy to get you some solid answers.
You've already received some strong advice here. It definitely could be many things going on besides cancer. The key is catching it early and knowing what is going on. This will give you some positive direction to head in. Please put all your efforts towards getting good answers.
Please let us know when your colonoscopy is going to be. We do wish you the very best in getting answers and moving towards getting well. 👍🧡🤟
