For the last 3 years I’ve been suffering from regular bleeding episodes when going to the toilet. This may typically occur once every couple of months and last for about a week with bright red blood filling the bowel! As I am currently in remission from an unrelated rare form of cancer, every symptom I experience is always a bit of a concern. I’ve had a colonoscopy some 12-months ago and all was clear, been to the GP on a number of occasions and his conclusion was hemorrhoids which I can try using ointment, live with it or consider surgery! Regular checks with my oncologist seem to present with no cancer related issues, but I still get quite alarmed and concerned when I see a blood stained toilet bowel! Any knowledgeable and educated opinions would be appreciated.

stool test came back positive for blood twice, but during this time she had inflammed hemorrhoids. After the suppository treatment, she no longer has any pain or straining during bowel movement and all visible signs of red blood on the stool and toilet paper have disappeared. So how likely is this to be something more serious like colorectal cancer? She is now due to repeat the stool test again

and the doctor told him to do nothing about it for 6 months and then tests will be carried out again to see if it has grown. I would assume he said this because the cancer is not a serious threat, would I be correct in assuming that?

i.e pain when bowels open and blood in stools, this comes for a few days and then gos for a few weeks, if it was cancer would it be constant??
i dont have mucus in my stools but they do change consistancy from time to time
