Bleeding
I am half way through 6 mths of chemo. Around 6 weeks ago I had dreadful diarrhea.
I started bleeding from my bowel and it continues now every time I open my bowels.
Any strain at all I bleed. ...
Is it fresh..like red blood when you wipe. You may have developed a tear or even a hemorrhoid from all the wiping etc. I have the same issue but due to constipation. Low iron can result in anaemia...but low blood counts are normal in chemo and if it gets too low they will look at that. If it is just a small amount when you wipe don't be too worried but if it is lots dripping..then go get checked out by your GP. You could do that anyway if you are really worried. Hope things settle soon. Kath x
