Is it Colon cancer

Hi I'm soo worried .

I've been weakening up in the early hours of the night 

with terrible lower abdominal cramps 

pain very severe right side and moving to left side 

it's not my appendix I've had t that removed .

I've had terrible diarrhoea over years thinking it was IBS 

and diverticulitis.

I had a positive Qfit test 27 and calprotection 64

ige been referred for CTScan abdomen and Colonscopy 

I'm soo worried . My son has Downs syndrome he depends on me to take care of him .

im trying to stay positive but I'm finding it very difficult 

with this terrible fear of having bowel cancer .

I can't slept due to constant worry overthinking and 

the terrible back pain and dirrhoea.. 

please can someone help me 

thank you 

has anyone had positive tests and it's not been cancer

  • Hi, I really feel for you as the wait to get tests and results is awful isn't it. I have chronic health anxiety and get myself so worked up. I also google constantly which doesn't help but is hard not to do when you can think of nothing else! My issues aren't the same as yours but similar. I've had heartburn daily for 2months and also loose stools. Like you i just assumed it was ibs as i would suffer randomly over the years with lose stools especially when stressed. 2 weeks ago I noticed blood in a stool and since then I've realised my stools aren't normal at all! I left samples in on Monday and got bloods done too. I'm going off my head with worry, I always assume the worst and go to dark places. I can't physically sleep and when I do I wake up with my whole body shaking in fear. I hope you don't have to wait long for your tests. I would say try to keep busy but if you are anything like me it's so hard to put this to the back of your mind. Right now I'm waiting on results and I'm terrified when my phone rings. Hopefully we will get through this with good news at the end. Feels like limbo land atm! Hugs!
