im a 21 year old female. for the past month i have had blood in my stools its been in my stools often, its in the toilet bowl and on the tissue, really bright red in colour too and the blood in the toilet bowl seems to be a very dark bloody colour. i been to the doctor and he said it could be hemrroids so he gave me some cream to use for 2 weeks and its now gone 3 weeks but the cream still hasnt stopped the bleeding. i have also been feeling very drained and seem to be sleeping alot more, i have stomache pains often and its painful, shortness of breath, and i been having runny poo (an upset stomache) evry couple of weeks. my poo is usually broken up into pieces. so i have looked online and seen some stuff that i didnt want to see, my symptoms seem to match colon cancer, am i too young to have colon cancer? and colon cancer does not run in my family at all. but something inside of me is saying something is wrong like a gut feeling, but i dont want to seem stupid to the doctor as i know he will say your too young for bowl cancer as thats what most people think. the doctor said if the bleeding dont stop i have to go back for an examination. what will this examination be? and im really scared that i do have colon cancer. it would be more than helpful to answer this if you have ever had colon cancer or are suffering now as i need some advice from someone who has been through it and can tell me if this sounds like colon cancer, im also so embarassed to have my bum messed around with by a doctor so its holding me back from visiting him again.

With dark blood showing, along with your other problems, I can't imagine the doctor not doing a more thorough exam.

How long did he say to wait for the cream to work?

I think you need to get this examined as soon as you can get there.

he told me to use the cream for 2 weeks, it has now been 3 weeks and the cream dont seem to be working i know i should have been back to the doctor a week ago but my partner said its probley nothing to worry about. my partner said im just being silly and that i dont have cancer as im too young, its horrible that he is not concerned eventhough everyone i know has said how ill i look recently he dont seem to be taking it seriously as i am generally worried but too afraid and embarassed just incase i am being stupid.
