I think my doctor is wrong about a hemorrhoid

shawnmcc

I recently have had a exam and a hemorrhoid was thougt to be found. In the picture I have from it it does not look like any hemorrhoid I have seen online or any were else. No external hemorrhoids either. Lots of bleeding the pain shoots into my back infact that is were is started then moved into my rectum. I have had cancer before but I have no proof of peviouse dignosis do to coma and lack of ID at the time. So its not in my records. Funny though I have the portline still and needle scars but I dont know if its sufficant to prove that I have had cancer. But  do to the previous cancer I believe I might have cancer again. I am almost atempted to have the doctor touch my left chest and say there is a lump there just to see what they find LOL.

If you feel that your doctor is dismissing you without finding out what is causing your pain, please find another doctor.  Many doctors are not well-educated when it comes to anal cancer.  Before I was correctly diagnosed, my internist diagnosed me with a hemorrhoid.  She did, however, refer me to a colorectal doctor because I was past due for my first screening colonoscopy, being 54 years old at the time.  The CR surgeon took a brief history and listened to me tell of my symptoms, immediately examined me, and told me she was 99% sure I had anal cancer.  I'm not sure what kind of a doctor you saw who told you this was a hemorrhoid, but I would suggest seeing a colorectal specialist.  I wish you all the very best.

I am going for a ultra sound

I am going for a ultra sound for a hernia if there is one I am thinking cancer because the tumor probaly created a hold and made the hemorrhoid that the doctors seen. They keep asking questions like I put somthing up my but to make a hole like my finger nail or somthing else.

One more thing I am numb when

One more thing I am numb when the swelling from the hemorrhoid  is happening. The swelling is going into my back. Funny part it is giving me relief from the pain,

although you do not have a clear memory of previous diagnoses, you still have a port.  I suspect that there is a record somewhere.  If you have any memory of  where the port was placed, perhaps a a detaillled record exists; even if this was related to an accident or something else.  If you have lived in the same area for a number of years and have friends or relatives , perhaps 

some details will be available.

 

Good luck.  In the meantime, askk lots of questions and follow through on this investigation.

I can feel were the port is.

I can feel were the port is. Another thing I am worried about is it is obviously the kind that is inserted directly into the heart. So my valves are at risk if anything goes wrong. I went to the surgeon they rubber banded the hemorrhoidbut I still have blood and still have swelling.
