I just wanted to document my experience over the past 2 weeks to hopefully reasure some people who may be going through a similar situation. My partner after months of displaying multiple symptoms of bowel cancer was suddenly put on a urgent two wait referral. He had been experencing bleeding and fatigue for almost 6 months and then suddenly stomach and lower back pain. He is only in his early 30's however as the bleeding had worsened and blood tests were normal he was given a colonoscopy appointment quickly. I cannot explain the worry and anxiety I went through over the next 2 weeks. After many many hours on google and reading all the cancer stories I was 100% convinced that this is what they would find as his symptoms did not meet the usual IBD/crohns profile. Thankfully they found only 2 polyps which they said appeared non-cancerous and also a whole lot of colitis which biospies will now test for crohns/IBD. I really just wanted to say for those prone to worry please stay away from Dr Google, I couldn't eat or sleep for 2 weeks and in turn was not the supportive partner for my husband that he needed. Also bowel symptoms present in very many different ways per person and so if the symptoms dont appear to match that of Dr Googles this doesn't confirm what could be found.
