colonoscopy results

well i did my tests today and feeling a bit down. Firstly last night i got bad toothache on all upper teeth and then got hot and very nauseated. I thought i wouldn't make the test but i did. First the colon, dr. sent away biopsies, but was puzzled a bit. He said i have some ulcers but its not as bad as last time. Also he thinks i have crohn's instead of colitis. Secondly there is gastritis present, and now checking for hpylori. I seen 2 lumps on the picture, i quess that is the gastriits or now i;m thinking cancer. He also said not to treat any of these until biopsies come back. He said to see him in 8 weeks. Isn't that long and shouldn't i get tested for the hpylori. I'm very scared for cancer of stomach now. Should i see family dr. and get tested or wait the 8 weeks. i also did a stomach scan 2 years ago and it was fine. Also wht's normal bleeding from anus, i;m bleeding slightly. Any replies willl help.

I wouldn't start worrying just to worry ><.

CT scans hugely increase the risk of cancers though, so I try not to get them under any circumstance.

So called "normal" rectal bleeding would be bleeding as a result of hemorrhoids (if you have them). When hemorrhoids bleed you will see on the toilet paper. Any type of blood that fills/changes the water in your toilet bowl is NOT "normal" and you need to go to your doctors office or the ER ASAP. It has been my experience with Crohns that if the blood even starts changing the water in the toilet bowl slightly it just eventually gets to the point that I can't even see the bottom of the toilet bowl anymore (thick dark blood has taken its place).
Sorry for the vivid description.
