Hi I'm a female 44 and I'm just venting as I'm not ready to vocalise my fears. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May 2019 and was surgically treated. My colonoscopy check in Jan 2021 I had a non malignant polyp removed. I'm awaiting on another colonoscopy as I was told they would be yearly due to rogue polyp. Tonight I noticed blood in my stool. There have been a couple of other things that could be worrying signs, but could also be down to being un fit back ache breathlessness. I know Ill need to get in touch with my consultant but I am also just wanting to ignore it all qnd shove my head in the sand. My biggest fear its back and having to tell the people I love again.
