Concerned about Colon cancer

Had a FIT Test last year along with a colo alert from private healthcare that came back negative.

I have continued to have bloating and stool problems ever since. Recently noticed blood when I wipe as well.

 

Most concerning is recently I noticed a lymph node under my chin on the right side of my neck has come up. It's rock solid and its really concerning me.

 

I heard when cancer metastasizes it can spread to lymph nodes. Am I thinking too much into this? 

Because of bank holiday going to have to wait till Tuesday to get a docs appointment.

 

Would really appreciate some feedback as I'm terrified.

 

Thank you

    When I was going through treatment they kept a really close eye on my lungs and liver as I think it was the most likely to spread to those organs? Obviously I'm not a doctor so don't take my word on that and I can't comment about the lymphnode. Have u got any other symptoms apart from bloating and blood? I know it's concerning but theres so many other things that could mean, there's not a lot that can be done until you can speak to your doctor on Tuesday so just try and stay busy this weekend and take your mind off it until then. Hopefully your doctor will help reassure you x
