Concerning bloods and posative fit test

Can anyone help with any storied they've had then came back OK?

Diagnosed low iron couple of months ago, Dr asked if I had any problems with stools and I said yes on occasion I get blood if the stoole is hard or I feel irritation down there and little speaks of blood on the paper. Some mucus too. I can feel a pile down there that's sore. 

2 weeks colonosopy referral done. Obviously we all know what Google tells me !!! 

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat, Chels.sje

    I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms. It's good that you've been proactive in discussing them with your doctor. While it's natural to feel concerned after doing some research online, it's important to remember that self-diagnosis based on internet information is not always accurate.

    The best course of action is to wait for the results of your colonoscopy. This procedure will provide more specific information about the condition of your colon and help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis.

    In the meantime, try not to worry too much. Stress and anxiety can often exacerbate symptoms and make them seem worse. Also if until your next appointment, you want to speak with one of our nurses, they're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

    I hope all goes well for your colonoscopy in two weeks time.

    Best wishes,

    Colonoscopy all clear. Found a tear. Discharged from the cancer pathway! Sometimes even though everything points to the worst its not always the case. I hope this gives some people some posativity. I had low iron and blood in stool! My bowel is very healthy so says the Dr. I am so relieved. X

    Thank you for posting your update. I’m so glad you are ok. I’ve just got a positive FIT result today and am seeing my GP tomorrow and am scared. Constipation and low iron but otherwise fine.
