I've noticed small reddish specks in my stool, which seem to be pastel reddish and part of the stool. I'm concerned because I've been struggling with health anxiety for a long time. I had no abdominal pain or pain with the bowel movement, but my stool has smelled worse lately. I ate carrots and tomato sauce yesterday. Today, I noticed a small deep red dot in my stool, which looked different from yesterday. I have a history of mild gastritis, hiatal hernia, and esophagitis. Should I be worried about colorectal cancer?

I have a blood clot in my left calf, not in a deep vein, and I'm being treated with Lovomox and a shot twice a day. Can I apply heat or cold to help with the pain, and should I continue taking Advil for anti-inflammatory purposes?

My husband is experiencing nausea, vomiting, and pain under the lower ribs on the right side. He has undergone tests including an upper GI, colonoscopy, and CAT scan, and has had a cancer blood panel. His lymph nodes are swollen without a clear cause, but the local oncologist deemed them not large enough to worry about. The doctor has suggested it might be anxiety, but we want a second opinion. Can you help?
