Worried my husband has bowel cancer

Hi there,

I'm really worried my husband has bowel cancer and I literally can't think of anything else at the moment it's worrying me sick.

he's has blood in his stool for quite some time that he was told was piles, they eventually did a FITT test and it came back positive, then he had blood tests which showed low iron. I know these are both signs of bowel cancer. He's 52. He has no other symptoms apart from these two things. Is it likely to be cancer? Waiting on colonoscopy appointment

  • Hey there, as impossible as it seems you need to relax. What will follow now is much more waiting and testing and waiting. I'm 45, I did the FIT test 19Aug and just had bowel cancer confirmed. 
    Strangely, for me the anxiety stopped once I got it confirmed, the waiting part is the worst. So for your husbands health and your sanity try to distract yourselves.
