My husband was diagnosed with anal cancer in the rectum in May. Like you he passed a significant amount of blood a couple of times when his bowel opened - the oncologist said this was normal as it was the tumour bleeding on contact with stools. 

I would phone your nurses though, just to inform them that this has happened and if it persists or you can’t go to the loo, go to A&E as a blockage can be an emergency.

Hi I’m 26 and have bowel / rectum cancer. I had blood in stools for 3/4 years (misdiagnosed by doctors) . It is a symptom, I would ring your doctors to just check that it’s not urgent. 

Good luck and stay strong

Hi all, I hope you are well and sorry about your diagnoses I hope everyone is staying strong!

im wondering what symptoms everyone had? I have a colonoscopy on the 28th I’m scared stiff! I’m 28 male with two beautiful daughters it’s had my heart in my mouth for 4 weeks now

Hi, what has made them refer you for a colonoscopy ? My symptoms were for 4 ish years - chronic fatigue / rectal bleeding daily for years / anemia / weight loss / irregular bowel and abdominal pain. 

Wishinh you well and half of this battle is keeping a positive mind set - it makes all the difference, so allow your beautiful girls to give you the positivity that you need for this 

please let me know how you get on , I have hope and keep positive and share how you feel too!
