Think I have anal or colon cancer! At 22

So it all started last year 2018/November when I had a stomach bug the symptoms are like any stomach bug being sick stomach aches the lot! When it all died down I started getting very very bad gas and bloated but no stomach pain this went of for about 4 week! After that I started getting mucus in my stool I have always bled from my bottom and doctors always give me cream but I still get blood on the toilet roll also about the time when I had the stomach bug I feel a tiny lump in my anus it's soft and moveable. I also had a fissure about 4 week before that. I have been to the doctors about 3 times in the first 3 months of all this and all said I had ibd and piles until I went to one doctor and he said he would give me a colonoscopy. They took me to a consultant he felt my stomach and everything was fine but still wanted me to do the colonoscopy just incase! Since then I have had shortness of breath I don't know if that's because of the panic or anxiety but sometimes it goes when I don't think about it. Also the other day I bled without even passing stool. Anyone had the same issue and any advice? Thanks 

  • Hi Kurt and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about all the symptoms you've been having and that you have no answers yet as to what is causing them.

    Hopefully some of our members will be along soon to share their advice and experiences with you but in the meantime I just wanted to wish you good luck for your colonoscopy. We will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    Kind regards,
