Could The Profuse Bleeding From The Rectum Mean That I Have Cancer?
Two weeks ago, I lost about two pints of blood, bleeding from the rectum. I was hospitalized, received two pints of blood, and was told I have diverticulosis. I also had a colonoscopy and they found two polips. I did not get the results back yet. Could the profusely bleeding from the rectum mean that I have cancer?

Since you said you already had colonoscopy and have diverticulosis and polyps. they must be cause of bleed. cancer colon is seen on colonoscopy and if there is nothing in it, you need not worry about cancer colon
