Scared I have bowel cancer

Hi 

I need someone to talk to, I'm going out of my mind with worry that I have bowel cancer. I'm 33 years old and overweight

It all started at start of December last year I had a sudden onset of acid reflux and felt very dizzy. I went to the doctors who prescribed me omeprazole but it didn't work. I couldn't eat and felt so unwell. The acid reflux settled down after a few weeks but then I started to get severe lower abdominal pain, hurts everytime I eat and diareah. My stomach is bloated and I'm constantly fatigued. I have seen blood in my stool 3 times and it hurts when i have a bowel movement. My stomach now just constantly hurts. I haven't left the house in a few weeks cos I feel so ill. I'm waiting to have a colonoscopy and it I've not had an appointment through yet. I'm so worried. Can anyone give me any advice?

 

Thanks in advance

    Dear Husky,

    I feel that l am in the same boat as you. I am awaiting a CT scan (urgent referral) and the results from a Calprotein test (not sure if the spg is correct). I have had a pain in my left side for several weeks, pretty bad diarrhoea, bloating and cramping. I also had bleeding (bright red) 3 times last week. I am so afraid.
