I noticed bright red blood on my toilet paper periodically. I would ignore it a bit, then worry more when it re-occurred. After a month or so, I went to see my GP (I was 40 at the time). He thought it was just hemorrhoids. A year later my wife convinced me to go back and see what was up. I was referred a week later to my gastroenterologist who diagnosed me with a 5cm tumor. The path report showed that it was T2N0M0.
I'm fully healed now, though I have a permanent colostomy.
- mpfundstein 6y agoah congratulations. glad to hear this. few more follow ups if you dont mind :-) so there was no blood in or on the stool itself? and what was the quanitity on the toilet paper? just a small stripe or a lot? and how frequent was it throughout the year? monthly,weekly,daily? thanks :-)
- greedo 6y agoI didn't look at my stool. There was a decent stripe on the toilet paper. I was in denial so I didn't measure it. ;) It was infrequent. My doctor speculated that if I had a firm stool, that would cause the tumor to bleed.
- Daho0n 6y agoYou seem worried with your multiple posts. You really should ask a doctor.
