Worried about bowel symptoms

I find myself here again, 6 months ago I had a breast cancer scare but all thankfully turned out ok. Now I am having tests to rule out bowel cancer. I'm trying very hard not to end up down the Googling rabbit hole but struggling. I'm terrified of having to have another endoscopy as I had one years ago that didn't go well. Equally I dread colonoscopy. If my faecal tests come back ok will that be the end of the tests? I'm 47 and never had issues with my stomach before 

Thanks for reading 

  • Sorry to hear this. I am the same, I now have constant loose stools. Not a nice colour and not at all right. Ridiculous amounts of gas and bloating. The anxiety doesn't help does it it's hard not to go down the rabbit hole of panic. Have you had scans / colonoscopy etc I can't remember and can't scroll back. I'm going to ask to be referred too. It's a waste of energy sitting here worrying when I could be talking to someone specialist. Mine is also sending weird pains into my bladder now.  All very worrying. Hope you have a better day 

  • Same here Bubbles, bloating pain at night etc...hope you have a better day too, keep in touch xx I had ultrasound of abdomen and transviginal one, all came back ok. Hope you have a better day too, keep in touch xx 

  • Hi Bubbles, did you ever get a diagnosis? I am having very similar symptoms, but with indigestion even after water and am terrified as I’ve had symptoms last 8 months that I’ve explained away rather than go to GP. Any help would be appreciated xxx
