sorry if this is to much info but I’m freaking out after the doctors appointment (waiting for a referral) 

About 4 months ago I went to go poop and couldn’t because it was stuck eventually things moved along with a bit of help.. since then I’m either unable to go, passing flat poop or suffering diarrhoea.. 

about three months ago when I was helping move things along to pass a motion I noticed that the tip of my finger could feel a slight lump up there. Fast forward and a lot of embarrassment I finally plucked up the courage to feel again and it was bigger and way more noticeable. I went to the gp who could also feel it.. I’m being referred but now I’m anxious and feeling super panicky that it’s cancer. 

I’ve just watched my dad battle cancer so It’s stuck in my mind.

I’m sure it’s highly unlikely to be able to feel bowel cancer yourself right? I’m sure it’s nothing but I can’t switch my brain off
