[quote=Anonymous]I'm panicking and have to work and don't know what to do and how to compose myself. For years, I have had digestive symptoms that hit all the classic symptoms of colon cancer.  I'm 45 and have had two colonoscopies 6 years apart (the most recent one was three years ago) and they always come back clean (no polyps or anything) and the diagnosis has been internal hemorrhoids and IBS. So I just went along with that diagnosis.  I'm now noticing blood mixed into my stool. I thought I saw this a few years ago just before the last colonoscopy but wasn't 100% sure. Now I'm 100% sure and I'm positive something was missed and I now have stage 4 cancer. I had blood tests last year and my iron was fine and I'm actually supposed to be getting a blood test this month for my annual and this has thrown me into a panic over that as well. I'm certain I'm now iron deficient now and something has advanced. I just called my dr to try to get in for a colonoscopy and they are getting back to me but I am panicking and don't know how to handle this. [/quote]
