So 6 years ago I was diagnosed proctitis and told nothing I can do about
it and I would have it for life. I have never been back since then. The bleeding stopped and has come back here and there but stops on its own somehow. I feel so stupid. I had no idea I needed to be screened or get back to doc when it started up. But I never had any pain with the bleeding before. But in April 2017 I started flaring and hasn't stopped. But not been super bad but now I have this odd scary pain. I am super worried. Finally got an apt for 2/2!!! I am both scared and happy. I hope it's not cancer. I had a doc about
3 years ago so a blood test on me and told me I had 1 in 14 chance of having colon cancer but she never said I needed a scope. So maybe that text just picked up on the same markers as the proctitis. Maybe they are similar in inflammation or genes I don't know but I am hoping for the best!
I am 45 years old female. 115lbs so no more weight to loose. I have lost 7lbs since bleeding started 9monhs ago. Diagnosed at 40. I teach yoga for a living but I don't always eat perfect. My eyes have become super blood shot no matter how much sleep I get and I just look like icky.
