What Does Blood In Stool Indicate?
Hi, I did a stool blood test, and I have blood in the stool,and I don t want to do any colorectal cancer screenin tests expect the Mir test, because I heard that the Mir test is safer, so can I ask my doctor to do that test for me instead of the all other colorectal cancer screening tests. Thanks
