t think much
of it at the time. About 2 weeks later, there was blood
in my stool and
in the toilet water. This has persisted with each bowel movement since, along diarrhea and constipation. My blood work showed low iron (likely due to the blood loss), white cell count was slightly elevated, and SED rate was elevated. With all of this, the word "cancer' floods my mind. My mother had ulcerative colitis with colon cancer later on as a complication from the colitis.
