Hi all. For the past 2 years, I have suffered with bleeding from the rectum, a mixture of fresh and mucus plum or dark blood mixed with stool. The past 2 months has got worse. Especially with pain. Stomach, digestive tract and back end. I'm constantly constipated and when it finally moves, it's thin and stinking. I have tore myself so much now in my back end and have had to use creams to soothe and clear up infection. I have been suffer badly with bloating, gas and severe indigestion. The past 2 months now, i'm constantly exhausted, light headed, feeling of almost passing out and constant breathlessness.
The doctor performed a rectal exam (Wednesday 5:30pm) and said he could feel concerning abnormalities as far as he could reach. He referred me for an urgent colonoscopy and had my bloods done 9am yesterday morning.
I am paranoid and worried because the GP seemed quite concerned and has made everything urgent, but he literally gave nothing away. My head is completely frazzled with it.
I'm a 29 year old male and I feel like I am just deteriorating day by day. I'm here because every symptom I am experiencing, points to colorectal cancer, which petrifies me.
I guess I'm just looking for similar experiences and honest news from people. It's hard to talk to my partner or anyone else around me as I don't want to come across doom and gloom or have them worried out of their heads!
Regards,
Sam
