I was in a fugue state drawing this. If it is in any way upsetting, I will delete it.

    No, that’s lightly colored blood. Mostly on toilet paper. We’re looking for dark red blood here.

      Yes and no. It just depends where along your GI tract the cancer is.

      If the cancer is further up in your colon, the bleeding can turn your poo a dark color. BUT if you have cancer near to the “exit hole” (in your rectum or anus), it absolutely can involve bright red bleeding.

      Also fun fact. Eating a metric fuckload of blueberries will also make your poo very dark lol. Found that out one day and I mildly scared the crap out of myself before remembering what I ate. Beets can also give you some fun colors.
