Hi everyone. Iam looking for help and advice. I've seen my GP today and he. Has requested that I have colonoscopy because of change of bowel movements and I've had bleeding twice now in the last 3 months with a movement but not in the stools but on the outside of the stools and in the pan . I've had other issues aswell like constipation wind . Bloating and lately a slight niggling pain on the left hand side of my stomach. My GP checked my belly and was happy with it  but I've suffered my piles and a fissure . But iam convinced its something more and reading the symptom checker on the sites it says it colon cancer . Iam 56 yr male. But iam I over thinking but iam very depressed and down as iam thinking the worse
