Dark stools

[wallycorker]

Not the world?s cleverest move. Earlier this year a friend?s wife?s internal bleeding was ultimately diagnosed as bowel cancer! A major operation appears to have been successful and apart from regular checkups no further treatment is required. MAKE THAT APPOINTMENT WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY!!!

Been there myself nearly nine years ago. I left it too long before going to the doctor's and then he said he thought it was OK and sent me away. Two years later, I was back and it was diagnosed as bowel cancer. However, I got lucky and I'm still here and totally OK. As I said earlier and as everyone else seems to be re-iterating, get to the doctor!

By the way, I would think that it's more likely to be the effects of diet or metformin than anything nasty but get to the doctor's anyway.
