Hi, I'm new here and just wanting to get some true feedback wheather it's a positive or negative, I appreciate the reality and truth. 
 

I am 31 and since having my daughter I have had lower tummy issues which I thought was a result of childbirth )2nd child). I suffered with low iron which caused hairloss but I did put down to postpartum hairloss until dr linked it with low iron.
 

I then kept getting the feeling of pressure in my lower abdomen and pressure/pain in lower back if stood for too long, again put down to birth and never thought anything of it. Fast forward to last week I had bad pressure feeling in lower tummy and slight cramps (thought earlier period?) but instead i had a biggish bleed from my back end with few clots. I rang GP right away who examed me and said no fissure or piles. He advised me to have FIT test (this was last Thursday). I did my test Sunday/Monday and by Wednesday the dr called to say positive 28 ug/L. I mentioned to the dr that since having my daughter I've suffered with iron levels being low and also I noticed lots of mucus in my poo when I did samples (never looked at it before that's closely, also my bowel movements have changed and becuase it wasn't consistent daiorrhea i didn't think it was worth mentioning, but I have started having more movements and I can be having daiorrhea and then have a normal stool withing the same sitting, weird! 
 

so anyways I had my ferritin levels done today and they have come back 7! This is the lowest my iron has been, it was 9 last year and went back up to 15 but that's a significant drop! (Normal range is 12-307 ish I think? ) 

now on the 2WW for suspected lower GI cancer. But I understand that's not alway the case and very open minded and just like to know stories and outcomes of similar. 

Any advice is much appreciated 

thanks
