just found some blood in my stool

and i am scared to death, it was bright red, had alot of cramping to. i just pray its not colon cancer, maybe its just hemmroids, but i know with crohns, you have a high risk of colon cancer. i feel ok, guess i will know next monday. i really did not need this on such a beautifull saturday:

Aw Maxibear

don't worry about this, rule of thumb, bright red blood = hemmie, fissure
dark browny red blood = old blood inside further up
if you're very worried, ring doc on Monday

Hiya Maxibear, try not to worry too much and if you do, see or phone a doctor ASAP to put your mind at rest. I'm sorry i can't help you but I would like to tell you I'm thinking of you and sending you a hug xx

Hey maxibear,

I know it's easy to say don't worry but, like Joan said, it's most likely a haemorrhoid that's causing the problem. Remember also, you have a recent diagnosis so the chances of anything sinister happening in that time frame would be very slim indeed.

Dusty.

HI Steve, Welcome :bigwave: I know how you feel about any kind of blood, scary to say the least. But as Joan says the light coloured blood is not as serious but I will still have it checked out. My theory, any blood or pain is a sign of something. Glad you feel comfortable here, we are in the same boat as you (most of us) and we here to help! Any questions we can answer, one of us is there for you!

I agree! You're in touch with a doc, these boards and newly diagnosed? Yeah, you're in good hands! I remember when my toilet was nothing but blood when I first saw any sign of blood! I couldn't tell if it was dark, light, black, or red, there was too much! Eeee! Lol

You'll be fine!! (and I mean that regarding the diagnosis) I would guess a fissure as well... but if anything changes, jump on here and someone will be more than willing to help.

Welcome aboard
