Why would eating a soft diet eliminate the possibility of bowel cancer when it may protect the tumour from bleeding as well as the piles?

Hi so a soft diet protects everything from bleeding the gut itself any hemeroids and a cancer tumour 

I agree with the Dr its most likely constipation that caused me to fail a FOB test but why the soft diet recommendation as an eliminator?

Also whats the likelyhood I have cancer im early 40, no family history, not such a good diet lots of red meat and processed cheap stuff , I abused laxatives for about a year by mistake  which is a cancer risk, I used to have BBQs.

So stats wise whats the likelihood I have cancer roughly 

Then stats wise whats the likelihood I have survivable cancer?

So my symptoms were pink blood on a toilet tissue I stopped doing sports baseball etc and the pink spots disappeared but I still failed the FOB test twice, I was constipated both times however

    Hello Kindregardsfriends.  I hope you will not be offended by my reply to you, because I truly mean only the best.  Instead of worrying constantly about cancer and whether or not you will get this disease or not get it, why not just live your life?  Forget about cancer and do the things that make you happy........go travelling, play sports, go down the pub, go to the gym, do some reading, listen to music.  I have stage 4 cancer and I haven't got long left to live.  You are wasting your precious life. Once again, I hope I have not offended you, but it needed to be said.  Take care.

    to make it clearer why does a soft diet eliminate only pile blood and not cancer blood, why doesn't it stop both does the cancer always bleed where as the piles do not?

    do the piles repair themselves heal, where as the cancer does not and cannot repair itself?

    Hello kindregardsfriends and thanks for thanks for getting back to us again,

    Piles can get better on their own but sometimes need treatment with some cream that you can purchase at the chemist.

    You can read the information written by the NHS on Piles. Drinking plenty of fluid and trying to avoid constipation can also help.

    Cancer in most cases needs to be treated.

    You sound like you have a lot of questions that you want to ask.. You are probably better making a list of concerns that you have so you can discuss this with your GP. They are in a better position to discuss your concerns as if necessary they can examine you and they can give their professional opinion and if necessary organise tests.

    I hope this helps,

    Catherine
