I was in a fugue state drawing this. If it is in any way upsetting, I will delete it.
Important PSA. Colon cancer isn’t as deadly as other types and a lot of that is because of all the work that goes into early screening and detection. At the same time, it’s on the rise in younger people.
Yep, was 34 when I got my diagnostic. A year later I had my last chemo last week.
I’m sure it’s all those lovely chemicals they put into food mixing and combining weird in your body, if you can create a new drug your body just by snorting cocaine and drinking alcohol I’m sure there’s much worse stuff we don’t even know about going on from all these weirdchemicals
to be honest more common reason could be polyps though so dont go crazy the first time you see blood on your stool.
Good PSA. RIP TotalBiscuit

Mix some beets into food (don’t tell anyone), scare everyone when their poop is red
I told this story on here way back when I first moved to Lemmy, but I went through a period of eating some sea salted beet chips (fucking delicious btw) for lunch every day. I didnt grow up eating beets, no idea why I tried them, but I didnt realize what was happening when I started pissing red.
Got in with my PCM and was panicking like “I have blood in my urine and I’m not on my cycle, and it looks different anyway!”
So he was like “Aight, what did you eat yesterday?”
I felt like such a fucking idiot wasting his time. But a bunch of kind Lemmings on here assured me that it happens a LOT, and its always better to get checked.
That being said, there should definitely be a warning on those chip bags for those of us who lack critical thinking skills lmao
I remember when once I ate a ton of red bell peppers and got jumpscared when my shit was red. I think the color was like this:
Wow! I love red bell peppers but I’ve never ate enough of them to do this! I’m impressed!
This is how Ulcerative Colitis goes too.
This gives off vibes of how Tom Green made a song called, “feel your balls” and it was a song about checking your balls for cancer.
I got really bad hemorrhoids so I would hope its just that. Like If I wipe too hard it bleeds. I need to actually use the cream. Haven’t seen any bright red shit in a while though.
I’m colorblind, i’ll just die of cancer.
Ass ass inate. Believe it! I need sleep.
My grandfather died of colon cancer, he had persistent diarrhoea/constipation (probably cycling, never had him clarify) for a year before he sought any medical attention. So yeah get your body checked up, the best thing you can do for cancer is to catch it early.
I’ve had bouts of blood in my stool since I was a teenager. No doctor has ever been able to explain it so it’s just something I live with.
