Back pain, musouc and Blood in Stool

[OJG]

I have been suffering with extreme lower back pain, stomach pain, constipation, diareaha, and most recently blood and mucous in the stool. I had a colonoscopy in 2006 and was told that I have severe hemmroids.  Two weeks ago, I could not use the bathroom without a laxative and when I was able to use it, I felt as if I had not finished a bowel movement. It feels like something is blocking the rectum.  I am scheduled for a colonoscopy next month.  My question is are these signs of colon cancer or hemmoroids (hemorrhoids).  I have also had a hymroidectomy, mother had cevical cancer, dad had cancer of the throat. I feel some nausea in the mornings but my apetite is good.  Thank you.
