No need to worry if its bright red - That is either from the piles or the fissure
It is certainly not cancer unless you have very irregular bowel movements such as lots of diarea and severe stomache aches for more than a month or so and the blood is in the actual stools (Then it may not be cancer anyway)
Whatever you do NEVER put off going to the toilet if you have piles or a fissure
Try to eat a better high fibre diet and drink lots of water and get to go regular with soft stools to relieve your symptons

Horrible the waiting isn't it - You are lucky you have a GP you can actually get an appointment with so soon - My last one was 22 Days so I spent £90 on a private one and lodged a complaint! She sounds nice as well Everything sounds cool though so nothing to worry about - As long as piles are inside your bum you will be fine after using the suppositories as long as you dont get constipated or get hard stools then they won't give you much of a problem hopefully
Nothing life threatening anyway lol
The positive all clear blood test results will cheer you up when you get them

It really is just a matter of changing your diet really but I cant preach to you about that - Its your choice (My piles were caused by my early party animal life style but learned my lesson 25 yrs ago - Just changed into a healthy eating party animal lol) - Never bled or was in pain again
The blood test was taken by your Doctor just as a precaution as if she would have slightly any doubt she would have referred you for tests
Your symptons are not stomach or bowel cancer - you can actually buy a diy bowel cancer test from the chemist (Boots, Lloyds etc) where you just take a sample of your poo on a stick and post it off if you want further peace of mind
I get them free every 2 yrs if over 60

You are having all sorts of probs aren't you hun
When I went to see my consultant I was asking for Halo as it seemed too good to be true what is sprouted (No pain over in a Day etc)
But he said that in his opinion it would not deal with the prolapse and cause all sorts of problems and that this Halo is more of a marketing thing to sell the expensive equipment (Without actually saying that if you know what I mean?) so I had them cut out!
Its been an absolute doddle and virtually painless - I was back bouncing about on my bike after 3 Weeks - I'm doing 30 miles Today - It will be 5 Weeks this Thursday since the Op and I am seeing him this Thursday for my post op consultation - So I am waiting to see him for that and I will post it all on here if there are no problems
So I am not sure if what they have done to you sounds like the problem my guy was saying (Makes the job worse as it leaves something behind)
If you can afford £200 you can get a private consultation with BMI where I went (Hospitals all over UK) They will give you the best advice (You can do the same for free if you get your GP to refer you then choose a BMi hospital online - Google NHS - e referral service) I would have done that myself but those jokers I have as my GP it would have been winter before I got it done)
Hope this helps you a bit
