Had Co;orectal Cancer. Done Radiation, Bracytherapy. Started Bleeding, Severe Anemia. Does Hemoroids Hurt?
I had a co;orectal cancer 2 yrs ago and underwent radiation and bracytherapy in th rectal area. I was good for the first 6 months and then I started to bleed more and more. last week I did my CEA reading and no more cancer was apparent. I have however severe anemia and bleed heavily every day. What can that be. Even my dr seems to be confused as we doublted colon cancer but thankfully it is not that.

For hemorroids if not prolapsed yet proctoscopy may reveal them. For higher bleeding sites sigmoidoscopy is used. Your bleeding time, prothrombin time, clotting time, platelet count, liver function tests should also be done. Bleeding should be arrested earliest by detecting the site.
