Had blood in my stools last week and got an examination at the GPs on Friday , she said she discovered a growth / lump at the side of my anus , she referred me to the hopital for a cancer screening / colonscopy which could take up to 4-6 weeks after i left the practice the blood in my stools cleared up ,,,just when i started feeling positive i started getting cramp / pressure in my lower abdomen ,,, today i have an uncomfortable feelling around my anus , in my mind im sitting on a lump ,,,trying to eat a health diet plenty fibre etc but it seems every bit of food comsumed is another trip to toilet ,,, i feel i cant wait to get a colonoscopy and see whats going on start treatment etc ,,, feeling worried and stressed , to top it all off i have worked at the hospital as a health care support worker for over ten years but can find the mental or physical strength to book a shift and carry out my duties ,,,,any advise , information would be appreciated ,,,,had a follow up chat with another GP yesterday , she told me theres nothing they can do but pass me on to the specialist which they have done
