Blood in the stool can be caused by stomach bleeding, such as ulcers. I would have your Dad see a Doctor a.s.a.p. Wishing for this to be something minor and treatable, -Rod

Awesome news Tracy !! This kind of thing makes me so damn happy!

Hi and welcome Hof411, So sorry about your Dads DX, I know of the anger and frustration you are feeling. Get as many opinions as you need. I too was mad as hell with the first couple of Doctors that treated my Dad. We carried on until we found an Oncologist that had the attitude of "failure is not an option". I wish the very best for your Dad and your family durring this difficult time. Warmest regards, -Rod

Hi, and welcome, So sorry about your DX. You have a great place filled with survivors to lean on for advice an support. Chemo can indeed can prolong your life, perhaps as long as 100 years!! Do not let this option register as merely palliative, rather, look at it as managing a chronic illness. My Dad has stage IV and is responding very well to chemotherapy, as have many of the survivors on this board. If you are not happy with anything your Doctors have told you... get more opinions. Wishing the very best for you and a successful treatment plan, -Rod

Thanks Randy, I really needed that. I will be sure to pass it along. -Rod

All my best to you and your Mom, -Rod
