I've had rectal bleeding for a few weeks. the bleed stops for approx 3 days then starts again for a day or so. blood tests came back as normal. the blood is a brighter red. colonoscopy is to take place in the next few weeks. worried about cancer?

There is a possibility of hemorrhoids in this scenario. However your colonoscopy wll give the answer. Good luck
