Possible colon cancer?

I'm 16 male with really no family history with cancer. I recently noticed thee small bumps below anal opening. They don't bleed or itch. I was really scared that it might be cancer. My mom got desitin and it seems like one is going down. I have also had lumps under my arms. I have been to the doctor at least three times in the past six months. The last time the doctor seemed annoyed and got a blood test done and she said it came back clear. I told her that I was afraid I had cancer but she insisted otherwise. So now like two weeks ago I noticed these three lumps. Maybe the size of a pea. They don't hurt. Last week I noticed a small streak of blood on the stool and today there was a small streak but the stool looks fine. But when I noticed the blood the first time it was a hard stool and today again it was a hard stool. I'm so scared I might have colon cancer or anything and I really don't want to have cancer. Please I'm desperate for help. I don't really want to see my doctor again because I'm afraid she might not take me seriously. And i dont want any surgery done.

Understandable
I had an issue this am, finding blood along with other symptoms. Sometimes you can Google stuff...but in the end I'm not sure if it helps paranoia...or just worsens it.

As far as your doctor goes, perhaps you could put in referral to transfer to another doctor. I've dealt with lackadaisical personalities in the medical profession and you should never have to feel like you are feeling right now. You pay him/her for a reason. It seems stupid to tiptoe around his/her wants. Good luck.

I like to remember that some people underestimate symptoms. You are simply worrying as you should. Smile
