    So glad when I saw blood once I scheduled an exam. Turned out to be dehydration related and not cancer. Yes it was embarrassing but had it been cancer there was a very good chance I could have survived it had it been caught early.

      FYI to everyone, bright red blood in your stool is usually not dangerous and will be something like internal hemorrhoids bleeding or possibly an ulcer. The really concerning thing is when you have what looks like coffee grounds, which may be internal bleeding.
