Cancer at 20.

Hey everyone, I'm a 20 year old male who has suffered from blood in my stools for quite some time which started last year. Last year it started off as pink streaks when I wiped and then slowly got better as I had cereal high in fibre. Last month i was in a different country and I started having darker blood when I wiped (Dark red, similar to a nose bleed) along with constipation. For the past 4 weeks my stools have also became loose. I have had a blood test today, I had a stool sample and rectal exam last week. The rectal exam and stool sample have all been clear. Within the past week I haven't had any rectal bleeding to the naked eye however I have gotten symptoms such as nausea, tiredness and dull pains in my stomach. This is especially worse in the morning and gets better during the day. At night it gets worse again when I have a bowel movement and increases the affect of my nausea. I started to google all the possibilities of conditions I have and I'm worried about cancer. What's the possibility?

  • Hi there ...

    So sorry your having these problems at the mo ... but no one here can diagnose you .. wer just average people with cancer or caring for someone with cancer... 

    I recon it's time you bit the bullet and called your Dr... they can send you for tests and find out just what is causing it ... things get worse if left ... your Drs used to dealing with these things every day ... and the soonest seen soonest sorted...

    Let us know how you go ...  Chrissie x
