I have had problems with constipation all my life. I have seen blood in my stools for years but not often( i thought it was hemorrhoids). I hear alot of people get colon cancer at a young age. I am 40 and scared to dealth that i have cancer. I put in a referral to a specialist. I have to wait. I am getting panic attacts thinking about this.

Has anyone had bleeding and it turned out to be nothing? I started a year ago taking extra fiber and that has really helped.

Welcome aprilcindy, going to see a doctor is a wise decision.

Of course you realize that you can get a 50/50 chance of hearing what it is you want to hear, right? I understand why you phrased your question that way, but better to see what is going on with YOU. Here is some info that you might find helpful and there
