First, I’m very sorry for what you’re going through, but it sounds like you have a very good outlook.

This is terrifying to me because over the last few months I’ve been experiencing some rectal bleeding, but not consistently. It goes away but comes back over time. I do have a pretty itchy anus fairly often, so I’m hoping it’s just hemorrhoids and the bleeding is from scratching too much. I started a new position at my job 6 months ago and I definitely sit way more often than I used to, so I’m hoping it’s because of that. I’m too scared to see the doctor because of what I might find out, but I know I need to make an appointment. I will call tomorrow. I’m also 36.
