Rectal tumour

My husband had a colonoscopy on Friday, after being treated for irritable bowel and piles for 18 months. They found a tumour in his rectum and have sent it off for biopsy. He has all the classic bowel cancer symptoms, but does anyone have any experience of having blood in stool, bloating and straining and the tumour was benign? I know im Clutching at straws. 

  • Hello JR2915, 

    A warm welcome to our forum. I am so sorry to hear that they have found a tumour in your husband's rectum and I hope you won't have to wait too long to get these biopsy results. I hope that you will hear from others here who have had similar symptoms and that they will come and share their experience with you. We are keeping everything crossed for you that it all turns out to be benign. Do come back here if you get a moment when you find out more to let us know what they have found. 

    Best wishes,
