title: By the way, doctor...I've had small amounts of blood in my bowel movements from time to time for years. My doctor has done a pretty thorough evaluation and has ruled out colon cancer or anything serious: what I have is plain old hemorrhoids. I've heard of an operation using rubber bands that can get rid of them. Should I go ahead and have this procedure done?
