A member asked:

Colon issues 4 years, 4 ct scans over 4 years show diverticulosis, sigmoidoscopy to 35cm normal, woke to bloody diaherea today colon cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely : Colon cancer does not present with bloody diarrhea. Sounds more likely to be an infection, for related to you diverticulosis or something called an arterio-venous malformation. Hope this helps!
