    Ashwin I'm sorry you are scared you have cancer but from other people on this forum its very rare for people your age but peace of mind is everything so maybe you can get your doctor to refer you to a gastroenterologist it's hard to get doctors to do colonoscopies because of your age but be persistent

    I have seen 4 doctors 2 of them said its piles. One said its infection and the fourth one said its nothing to worry about. I am scared because i am losing weight and i think losing weight with blood in stool directly means cancer.

    😭.

    There is a possibility that my weighing machine might not be accurate as i measure my waist with a measuring tape and it was normal.
