Help With Hemmorhoids!

My mom has internal and external hemmorhoids. She did have a colonoscopy a few weeks ago and they found a vein causing some burgandy blood in her stool. They were able to fix it. She has had some light spotting from the hemmorhoids but now she has some bright red blood in her stool and on the toilet paper. It's very little and she says it's just a smear. We called the GI doctor and she said it was nothing to worry about. She is so worried. She is very depressed and thinks it's something that is going to send her to the ER and be the end of her. I have tried to reassure her that it's just her hemmorhoids and that her doctor(the specialist from Yale) and the GI doctor both told her it was nothing to be concerned about and that it was normal considering her situation. Can anybody here relate or give me some advice to share with my mom to help reassure her?
