Hi Danny1. Please please go to your GP asap if you haven't already been. I had blood in my stools which was ongoing for a good few months. I didn't have any other symptoms like weight loss or any other symptoms in my bowel movements I just felt myself. I was diagnosed with stage 2 rectol cancer. I have since had an operation to remove part of my bowel and now I'm recovering with a temporary stoma bag. I've since had my results back saying I will not be having any other treatment like chemotherapy which is really good news.
