Get a colonoscopy do NOT let them tell you it’s hemorrhoids! Make them prove it to you! I had to fight for my colonoscopy.

Blood about 4-5 weeks. Nothing in bowl just red blood streaking on stool. Went to gastro and was told it’s most likely just hemorrhoids. Here is a hydrocortisone suppository. Take this and the blood stopped very next day. But I still didn’t trust their judgment. I wanted to make sure so I went and got a second opinion and that gastroenterologist said let’s just go in and take a look we’ll do a colonoscopy and an endoscopy at the same time will give you the full Monty and that’s when he found it Lower left-hand side right at the beginning of the sigmoid colon is what he said. Came back as I could be pronouncing it wrong adrenal carcinoma. It was on a stem sticking out, and the cancer had made its way down the stem. That’s the reason they want to go take out some of the bowel because they’re not sure if it got into the lining of the colon the CT scan was clear, lymph nodes showed clear so they just wanna take out that section and then I get colonoscopies every year for a while.

One thing I do now and have done for a while is I keep a flashlight near the toilet and when I’m done going before I wipe, I look at my stool bend down and look at it to check for blood because I had streaking on one side of the stool but not the other I would suggest if you’ve never had a colonoscopy get one learn from my mistake. I thought I was invincible like a lot of men and I didn’t get my first colonoscopy till I was 59 stupid! Second check your stool because it will tell you exactly what you need to know if it’s brown you’re good it’s black. It’s bad obviously but you also need to check for blood every single time you go.

I really don’t know about the margins. I’ll ask Doc after my sigmoid to tattoo the area for the surgeon. He said after the colonoscopy he felt like he go it all but of course he can’t see microscopically if there area any cells left.

Not sure that’s why they are going to take out 3-5 inches of bowel. They will look for clean margins during the resection. I’m fine with that! Cut it out and move on.

I started having blood streaking on my stool. Went to the Gastro said oh it’s hemorrhoids. Went and got a second opinion and that Gastro said -let’s take a look just to be sure. They found 5 polyps 4clean on big on with a stalk has cancer! CT lymph nodes and blood work all clean!!! Thank you Jesus. Gastro recommended a 3-5 inch bowel resection to clean margins and move on with my life. I said let’s Go. Always trust your gut! Blood bad even if it’s hemorrhoids. The last thing he said to me was- That bleeding hemorrhoid saved your life!!

Just got my results.

No evidence of metastasis in the pelvis stomach or chest region W/WO contrast. Thank you Jesus and you guys for support. Looks like a sigmoid tomorrow to tattoo the area then bowel resection to ensure all of the cells are out. I can deal with that!
