THis my brother acc, yes i have been tested for diabetes and was negative , thats why im really worried, i font think it is rectal cancer as ive had a sigmoidoscopy and that surly would of showed up in that, the blood is bright red so it has to be coming from somewer in large colon i suppose?????
I was told that rapid weight loss (10% or more of your body weight) within a month can be either a sign of cancer or diabetes. With your tiredness, it could very well be diabetes. Have you had your blood checked for that? I am not a doctor or nurse, this is just what I have been told about rapid weight loss. My sister passed away May 13, 2009 from Stage IV rectal cancer so anytime I hear of anyone that has rectal bleeding, I would strongly encourage them to have a colonoscopy. Had my sister done that, it would have been caught early and she would still be alive.
