I have a friend who is 28 years female. She is having blood and mucus in her stools for last 8 months. Following is the report for tests she has undergone.
Proato sigmoidoscopy report
Its done under local anesthesia, scope negotiated up to 2.30 cm . Mucus of reactum was inflamed and congested with multiple ulcerations. Mucus friable bleeds on touch with tip of scope.
Rectal Biopsy Report
Received tiny brownish white bits aggregating to 4cms. It reveals ulceration of mucus. The Laimina propria contains moderate lz dense infiltrae of lymphocytes, plasma cells and few polymorphonuclear cells. The mucosal glands apear unremarkable.
She is not telling me the exact thing, she doesnt want to hurt me. My question is . Is she having cancer or it is only IBS. What are the chances of survival from this stage. Is surgery and removal is an option or not. ?

I think she is suffering from an Ulcer (from Latin ulcus) is an open sore of the mucous membrane, often caused by an initial abrasion and generally maintained by an inflammation and/or an infection. Or in other words, it is a macroscopic discontinuity of the normal epithelium (microscopic discontinuity of epithelium is called erosion).
Since it happened inside her tummy then it is commonly called Peptic ulcers: This includes ulcers of the esophagus, stomach, large and small intestine.
Ulcers are non-healing wounds that develop on the skin, mucous membranes or eye. Although they have many causes, they are marked by:
1. Loss of integrity of the area
2. Secondary infection of the site by bacteria, fungus or virus
3. Generalized weakness of the patient
4. A lengthy healing time
So she is suffering a serious problems dear, support her to get the best treatment available. Good luck !

Your sentences dont tell much...
It could range from AIDS to having too much anal sex.
Or Hemorrhoids, Anal fissures, Diverticular bleeding
Intestinal infection (bacterial enterocolitis)
From my gut feel, she could be having Hemorrhoids or Ulcer
