My mum passed away with cancer, once diagnosed it had spread throughout her body but was believed to have started in her bowls, she always struggled with IBS and bowl issues. I have the same issues and I am worried. I have spoken to my gp and they said that I’m not losing weight so there is no need to test. My mum didn’t loose weight and was the same weight most of her life so I’m unsure why this should be a reason not to test me .My mum passsed away 12 weeks after her diagnosis and this gives me great anxiety as it all happen so fast and she was perfectly well untill diagnosis
