I know DH is not very loved on these boards and I understand that but I really need T&P for the Daddy of my babies right now. He has bright red blood in his stool. The family doctor is calling in a referral to a surgeon. He's virtually positive it's cancer. DH and I are scared out of our minds. Please send vibes for health and strength. Thanks so much.

Re: Need Serious T&P for DH
I wish him the best but bright red blood in the stool isn't cause for an immediate surgical intervention. Has he had a colonoscopy? Why is the physician assuming cancer and not hemmorrhoids or a polyp?
Thanks for the T&P everyone. Still no call from the specialist. The GP said that if they don't call today, I should call in the morning - which I will.
Lanie: The GP did use a scope and didn't see polyps or hemorrhoids. However, his scope can only go so far so I'm hoping those types of things aren't totally ruled out.
Since I originally posted, family has been sharing stories that have calmed us a bit. Apparently everyone is shocked that the GP suggested cancer. This is very encouraging so I'm hanging onto the idea that the doctor was being a bit of an alarmist. Here's hoping.
Thanks again for the T&P on here and on FB.
