Hey im looking for some advice please. Really anxious and nervous about my colonoscopy tomorrow. I have already had a flexi sig and they found patchy unceration and acute inflammation but they didnt really say that was what was causing my symptoms. 
I am 30 years old ald and have had blood in stool for around 4 weeks now. Mild abdominal pain, bloating and excessive gas. Im so scared that its cancer.

    Hi, 

    Sorry to jump on this thread. Can I just ask why you are not being referred on the 2 week cancer pathway with your symptoms? 
     

    I'm 32. I've had lower abdominal pain for around a year now, various tests have all come back clear. I'm personally convinced it's Bowel Cancer because nothing else has come back but I'm struggling to get seen for a colonoscopy. The waiting list is months and months! 
     

    I hope the both of you are completely fine - we must remember that our bowels are so highly affected by stress and worry and there are so many other things it could be. It's so hard to find people to speak to. 
     

    Best of Luck! x
