Hello,
Im new to this and wondered if there was anyone in there 70s worried about having bowel cancer. I've seen lots of posts from younger people but not many from the older generation.
Im in my 70s and my seemingly fit and healthy husband died suddenly in his sleep last year. I had health anxiety before but it has now gone completely through the roof!
For the past month my bowels have changed. My BM are now nearly always loose especially in the mornings. I don't have pain as such and the colour is varying brown ( gross I know)
I search my for blood and think I may have seen a streak but it may have been food. I am completely obsessed with my bowels!! I have mentioned it to the Dr and have done a poo test. I phoned forvresults today but they haven't come back yet. I am convinced I have cancer especially as I am older.
Im not eating and have lost my appetite this is probably due to being frantic with worry! Can anyone young or old give me any reassurance. I would be most grateful.
