Just finished chemo for bowel cancer. At the moment I’m free of the disease, but won’t get the all clear for another 5 years.
What are my chances of contracting any other type of cancer? Are they raised, or is it the same as before?
Thanks for any answers

I had some rectal bleeding and I went to see my doctor. He said it could be hemorrhoids. However, he recommended I go see another doctor that specializes in that field. So,I went to see this other doctor. ANd he recommended I have a colonoscopy done to make sure it wasn’t anything serious. So, I did. And he claims everything is okay. However sometimes when I go to the restroom, I have some rectal bleeding. Is it hemorrhoids or what? The latter doctor did say i had a hemorrhoid; but, he did not give me any medication or anything like that. What should I do?
I had one & it started feeling a little better after a week, but still weird so i stopped using the cream the DR prescribed cause i don’t know how long you can use it. Well i had a bowel movement and it hurt cause i had to strain alot. I don’t eat enough fiber obviously. I just want to know if i’m the only person suffering from this! Will i ever feel normal again? It never bleeds though which the DR said is good, but i am petrified of going to the bathroom anymore. I know most of the stuff about shrinking them, but if you walk and it feels weird or a bit painful, do you do it anyway or is sitting better cause you can make them worse by sitting for periods of time. I’m an 18 yr old girl and it’s ruined my 2 weeks. Please help me get my life back!
Oh & it doesn’t itch but around my butthole is red. Sorry if it seems gross.
red from when i just had a bowel movement yesterday & usually i only have bowel movements twice a week?
