I'm having my first colonoscopy on Monday, June 10. I'm 49 and soon to be 50 in October. About a month ago, I was having reddish mucus coming from my rectum. It was confirmed blood from the doctor. I don't have any pain from there. The only pain I ever have from my bottom is from my tailbone because of an old sleigh riding injury. Lol. I always have mucus from there. I've had my colostomy all my life due to Hirschprung's disease. I'm worried that it could be the "C" word. I start my clean out on Sunday. How was the clean out process? I'm taking a Dulcolax and Miralax concoction. Has anyone else had this problem? I appreciate any prayers and good vibes for my upcoming appointment. Thanks '
