Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Kathy: Can you tell me what is ARDS? I am sorry about your dad and understand that you must be scared. As for your question, I never heard of polyps or hemoroids (sp?) causing this but I am not an expert. Go for the colonoscopy soon. In a message dated 12/30/2005 5:27:01 P.M.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Hi Kathy, I am so sorry to hear that you are having these kind of problems. I am no doctor but Yes, it could be a number of reasons other then colon cancer. But please go get a colonoscopy. It is not a bad procedure and more then likly you will be asleep during the procedure. That way you would be sure what is causing this and it would give you the right answers. This is not someting to fool around with. And if it was by some small chance caused by a tumor it would be caught at an early stage that is still curable. The only way to know for sure what is causing this is getting the colonoscopy. I too was afraid of the procedure and waited to long. Now I am a stage 3. Please go checked.
