[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 699904, member: 1550"] Cb, I think you also have a health phobia. I recognize it because I did too and sometimes I still do. I love ya like a daughter and mean this with extreme kindness. Blood in stool that is red is not normally serious. I know because of when *I* freaked out about the same thing. I had a gastroenterologist because my stomach was a mess and he said the blood doctors hworry about is black, not fresh red. I still get blood in stool. ..I know too much information...lol. I first had blood in my early 30s and i am now 63 and no cancer. You could have IBS. Hurts but not serious. Do get help for this phobia. It sucks to think every body sensation is a deadly disease. Trust me, I know. As we chat here, I had an oral biopsy because I probably have a non cancerous problem that is painful and not curable called oral lichen planus...of course, they biopsy everything and I expected the results this week only to find out the oral surgeon is out of town until Monday!!! So in the back of my mind I am afraid I have oral cancer, although I know they don't expect it to be anything except confirmed lichen planus. But I worry about the 1% chance. Or less. Honestly....I am worried. We can worry together, ok? I think we will both be okay. Health anxiety is not fun. Our fear is very real. It is like a gigantic panic attack! Blessings and let's both try to be calm this weekend. Is your son recovering well? [/QUOTE]
