Blood wind mucus

hy i am a 37 yr old male, my problem started in may last year when embarrassingly passed mucus when passin gas and when having a bowell movement, after a week or so these symptoms went away and then a couple of months later I had a prolapsed roid. At Xmas 2011 all the symptoms started again mucus leaking when passing wind and stools and little traces of blood, at this point I went to the docs and he ran tests for ceoliac, and blood tests for paracites and inflammation and a stool sample for occult bleeding and also a finger exam, all these came back negative and the doctor felt there was no need to have a colonoscopy at this time as the only red flag was the blood but symptoms had passed by the time I went back for results. Symptoms have no begun again last week same passing mucus browny colour and what looks like faint traces of blood on tissue. Other considerations are, the last 3 months I've regularly felt a discomfort in upper left abdomen feels like a pulled muscle this is still present now I wouldn't describe this as pain though! I feel that I can tell when the mucus will start as I feel like my colon is filling up with fluid by anus and I do have a little soreness after passing stools, they seem to fly out when the mucus is present. I have suffered a lot of stress in last 9 moths as I was made redundant and my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer in October, I AM petrified I have made an appointment to see doctor again next week but I the mean time I feel so scarred! I feel like I can't go out and I think I'm convinced I've got colon cancer, although I generally feel well and I'm putting on weight... Please can someone help I am utterly desperate and feel so upset... Also I have been taking lansoprazole for last 5 years due to gerd. I would be grateful of any advice as I feel that life isn't worth anything at the moment as I can't see past the cancer risk.. Anyway thanks for reading
