    Hi Darren, I'm not a nurse and no expert but as they are often not available at the weekend and I did have a colonoscopy, I am just replying for what it's worth. From what I've read online, about 10% of people with blood in stool have cancer. How high it is only says how much blood is in your stool. It doesn't really indicate what is causing it. Yeah, some things like diverticulities and cancer would tend to cause more bleeding than something like hemorrhoids or a fissure, but the number isn't going to suggest any one particular cause.

    I didn't find the camera test hurt at all. People have different experiences but I felt nothing. The only thing that did hurt was the amount of wiping I had to do the previous day due to the bowel prep. I really recommend having sudocream to hand.
