Im new to this site and worried. I took husband to OOH docs Saturday night as he had been bleeding from his bottom for over a week.On way he says it may be 2 weeks,then in with doctors it has been over 6 weeks. I think he was trying to convince himself it was just haemorrhoids.
The doctor gave him an examination of his bottom and said she could not feel any haemorrhoids or see any bleeding and thought it was higher up advising him to call doctors first thing Monday
He called and was then in the surgery 20 mins later and again examined.This doctors thinks it may be haemorrhoids and has referred him for an urgent colonoscopy. He also had bloods done.
He was advised to call the next day to allow report to be sent and book in for colonoscopy which he called but they have no apts at moment so sat waiting,feeling numb and anxious.
It also appears that this bleeding has been going on for alot longer and that he has lost track of time plus also thinking it was piles. The bleeding was only slight at the beginning but now is a lot and the pan and even clothing is covered with bright red blood. In the past few days there have been some quite big dark clots.
Does this look/sound like bowel cancer ? The not knowing is driving me mad and causing us both sleepless nights.
