I am absolutely terrified i have colon cancer i am only 24 but had a very bad diet until a week ago, my scare started when i ate i usually can consume half a pizza but i could only manage a slice and a half and couple chips, i got bloated and had a pain just under my left rib also still felt very hungry, next day i still had pain and was very gassy, i done the toilet and my stools were shaped weird they were semi flat and have been also had blood on them not exactly through them but like they've passed blood, note bleeding from there has came and went for me for the past 2 years but always assumed its piles, the smell of my stool recently is putrid too, i also feel movement just below my belly button, also haven't managed to keeo much liquid down i can drink something and feel like i need to burp and bring up not all the time just sometimes, I'd like to add the day after it started i bought more fibre foods and gave up fizzy drinks because my cousin said it may be poor diet but its still here well the blood on stool and getting bloated and feeling hungry is still here, i am absolutely terrified as googling my symptoms i pretty much have the symptoms of colon cancer but it says I'd have a persistent pain and mine seems to come and go not really felt ot as bad as that 2nd day but its came and disappeared, my biggest worry is i do have it and don't make it as i recently lost my dad in januray (not cancer related) and i don't want to leave my mum alone because i know she isn't strong enough mentally if i also had to go, ofc i am also terrified for my own life since I'm only 24, i plan to phone my gp for an appointment on monday as it says I'd need to phone if it lasted more than a few days and thats coming up a week and a something, my fear is they put it down to IBS because of my age and by the time they figure it out its too late
