Blood in stool... No other signs

My cousin took her 8 yr old son to the Dr. today to see if the blood in his stools were from hemmoroids... The Dr. said he doesn't have them and that they have to run tests. Mentioned cancer, crones disease and some other things...


Her mom was diagnosed with a rare cancer last summer and that was one of the first signs that they should have known was possibly cancer... My uncle also had the same bloody stools...


I'm terrified for her. She has three girls and one boy. She lost her brother in a motorcycle accident when she was 8 and I know for her this little boy is her baby... He's a momma's boy.


Please keep her in your prayers and that maybe the tests will come back negative...


What are the chances that it's just a simple thing? He's otherwise healthy. Doesn't complain of pain or anything.

There are no guarantees in this life as you know but as you have said the doctor mentioned several other possibilities.
