I think i have bowel or colon cancer because i have been having a really hard time going to the bathroom lately. I have been like this since nov, i started with constipation every now and then and then as the months went by it started hurting more and more to go to the restroom, i bleed bright red blood from my anus and i find it in my stool. The last 1 month have been the worst, i have had excruciating pain when i go to the restroom, i don’t go to the restroom for approximately 4 to 5 days :/ which is horrible last friday i drank a magnesium citrate bottle and it helped me for the day, although my stool came out as diarrhea it still hurt and burned like hell!! on sunday i found a hemorrhoid and i have been putting preparation H. Since sunday i have been drinking Metamucil 2 times a day. since sat the only day i went to the restroom was on wednesday, only because i did an enema wash but even that didn’t help, my stool didn’t come out the way it was suppose too. I have lost a big amount of weight the past week and my appetite has dramatically reduced, my stomach always just feels uncomfortable, and is always hurting. This includes drinking lots of water and eating very healthy each day, especially eating a lot of fruits. :/ im really worried and i know i have to get it check out, but my parents don’tt always take it too seriously, it just worries me the most because im only 16 ;( so yeah i have tried everythingg from laxatives, to washes, stool softenersrs everyday, to fiber cereals and now the fiber drink but nothing is working, i really cant handel the pain anymore i cry every time. whats your guys opinion? please and thank you:)
so my problems are stomach pains, extreme constipation, weight loss, blood in stool and i bleed every time i go which isn’t often combined with a lot of pain, also a hemorrhoid and lately my anus gets itchy. also a mucus comes out too. please help

It has been over 12 hours since suppository and no action. She can not have an enimia due to her health it would be more uncomfortable to be in fecal mater and moved due to cancer in bowel fear of bleeding. any suggestions on how to deal with this or how long she could live with these issues.

Im worried i may have it. I was wondering if you could tell me the symptoms you had and how severe it was and how long did you ignore it before going to the doctors?

Did it get worse over time? Give me as much information as possible, thanks.
Just to add, im 18 years old and being worrying about finding blood on the toilet paper for 3 years now.
Iv ignored it for 3 years because i dont want to believe it could be anything serious, its too embarrassing and i hate how they diagnosis Bowel cancer, with scopes going up your butt….

I know its rude to be thinking like that, but I myself was diagnosed 5 months ago with bowel cancer and am currently fighting it. And ever since, when I hear people who have life changing experiences because of a cancer scare, or ask stupid questions like does lip gloss give you cancer, it really gets on my nerves and I just think "shut up!".

Do any other cancer patients or survivors feel that way too?
