Hello

I've been experiencing all of the typical symptoms relating to bowel cancer for months and finally plucked up the courage to visit my GP last week. He has requested a colonoscopy, further bloods and did the finger test. So now it's a matter of waiting.  I live alone and don't want to unburden myself on others perhaps unnecessarily so alot going on in my head just now.

  • Hii, a very warm welcome to the community.

    I'm really sorry to hear that you've been experiencing those kind of symptoms. That must be scary for you. But well done for going to your doctor, that was really brave and takes a lot of courage. Well done.

    It's good because now the ball is rolling and if anything is wrong then they'll know soon and be able to help you. But hopefully nothing is wrong, but it's better to be safer than sorry with this.

    I know how hard the waiting can be it's horrible.

    So please do keep in touch with us here. So many lovely people here will be able to offer you so much support ️

    Please take care and try to keep busy and relax. Take it one day at a time.

    Sending you lots of hugs and love,

    Jess xx

  • Thank you for your lovely response Jess, really appreciated.  I think this forum will really help me to be open and honest about how I'm feeling, without having to protect anyone I know. Dxx
