Anyone here have any experience with colorectal cancer? [View all]

I've been having severe stomach and bladder pain for the last few days, and today I had an unbelievably large amount of blood when I moved my bowels. I've had hemorrhoids in the past, as well as a fissure, but this was just on a different level.

I don't have any health insurance, so it really doesn't matter one way or the other, if I do have cancer it's definitely going to kill me, but I was curious if anyone else had this set of symptoms and that's what it turned out to be..,
