Worried

Offline

Hi. I have today been told my FIT test came back at 15 and now have to go for a camera.

I have suffered with stomach cramps and constipation with the odd spotting off blood. 

I have a family history off bowl cancer from my dad's side but due to being in care I don't know the full history. 

I'm scared and worried.

  • Hello W.D and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    When you’re worried about cancer, it can be natural to think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. You'll only know more from your doctor, so I hope your next test goes ok and don't be afraid to ask questions. It's important that you are informed and understand what's going on. We also have information on testing for bowel cancer on our website, which I hope will be helpful.

    Best wishes,
