Hi Barb.

I didn't have anything like that. I had a tumor that caused gradual blood loss, and eventually blocked my colon, sending me to the ER.

Best thing you can do is see a doctor. I hope it turns out to be nothing.

Hi,
You really need to make a Drs appointment as soon as you can, it may be nothing but at least you will know one way or another.

Let us know how you get on ...

Best Wishes
