I posted the following yesterday

 " Hi, I'm an almost 50 year old female. For the last few weeks I've been having to go t the toilet far more often than normal.  It always comes with an urgency and haven't had a normal bowel movement in this time, always either just bits or sometimes Diarrhea. I do suffer with Hemorrhoids and have done for about 20 years. I'm also getting a feeling quite often in my rectum that I still need to go even when I know I don't. I have thought for a week or so now that I need to go to GP and then last night I was sitting on the loo and didn't have any sensation of needing to go but suddenly felt something slide out (sorry tmi!) and it was a large lump of pure mucus about 2 inches long. I have had some discomfort on my lower right side for a few months on and off and quite often feel nauseous, especially after having a bowel movement. I have also for the last week been exhausted and falling asleep in the day which I never do. I am going to contact GP tomorrow but am scared about being fobbed off. Am I making this bigger than it is in my head? "
 

Been to GP this morning and instead of just being told that they were checking for Bowel Cancer with FIT test and see where we go from there, I was also told that it could be Ovarian Cancer so need CA125 and scan. Really hoping my FIT test comes back negative as don't think I have the brain capacity to worry about 2!
