Hi Everyone :)
I'm a 24 year old first-time-mum to my beautiful daughter who is 7 months old. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I began noticing blood in my stool. It wasn't every time I went to the loo so I just thought due to being so constipated I must've gotten some fissures. Fast forwards to last Friday (15th April) I went to the GP because the bleeding had gotten a lot worse and was no every single time I went to the loo. Did some stool samples and the results came up on Monday. My FIT result was <400 and I have been sent for an urgent referral as they're suspecting bowel cancer. I have a blood test tomorrow (Friday 19th April) and I'm just waiting to be contacted about this referral. GP said because of the amount of blood that there was they are more concerned than they usually would be for someone my age as it is more likely to be something nasty.
I am absolutely terrified. My fiance is too but he's really trying to put on a brave face for me I think. But my mind has just entered a downward spiral of feeling like I'm going to die and leave my fiance alone to raise our daughter. I've even gone as far as to start writing a Will out just incase so that everybody knows what items of mine they would be in charge of looking after.
Just want to be able to talk and openly share how I'm feeling with someone who isn't my family or work colleagues so I don't get treated differently because of what I'm going through.
