For 5 years I had occasional bright red blood in my poop. Dr. Google said I had hemmorrhoids so I never thought much about it after that. It was only when I developed Uterine cancer that the CT scan showed a 4cm tumour in my colon. At this point it was already stage 3 and I thank god for the Uterine cancer (Stage 1, cured) or I would likely be dead from the colon cancer. Never, EVER trust Dr. Google and get any bleeding checked no matter how small.
