Hi. Bit of a long post so bear with me. Just looking for some reassurance as feel I have no one to talk to.
I had a private colonoscopy nearly a year ago due to some concerning symptoms such as blood in stool. My mom and auntie have both had bowel cancer. The colonoscopy didn't really show anything however the prep wasn't the best so im scared something may have been missed. Symptoms seemed to go away.
The last few weeks I have started having blood/mucus in stools again. Some abdo pain sometimes all over but sometimes just in the left side. Feel like I need to go to the toilet more but not going. When I do go there's always blood and yesterday I passed a thinner stool than normal. Bloods and FIT test done- fit test positive. I have been refered back for another colonoscopy in a few weeks time but I can't stop worrying I'm so scared. I'm 31 with 2 young little girls and I can't bear the thought of having to leave them has anyone had similar symptoms and everything's been ok?
