So anxious

I feel like a broken record 

 

have had bleeding on and off for years was told I had a fissure and put on a referral whcih took three years to come through and I was given a qfit test at hospital to do which came back positive. 
 

colonoscopy is on Tuesday but I have noticed mucas in my poo this week it is white and blood on the stool not when I wipe my anxiety is super high I have lost half a stone since I got the call as my appetite has just disappeared feel like a broken record for two weeks now but I can't shake this dread feeling 

 

I have had no change to my bowel habits just this bleeding for years I'm worried if it's polyps I've left them to turn cancerous I should have chased the doctors up more but I believed them when they said a fissure 

  • Hi Twinmum88,

    I'm sorry you haven't received a reply up to now. I can understand your concerns, although try not to assume anything at this point. It is good to hear you don't have too much longer to wait for your appointment. I hope it all goes OK tomorrow - do be sure to discuss any questions or worries you have with them also, and then hopefully it won't be too long to get any results.

    Wishing you all the best,

  • Hi Twinmum88,

    I think if the bleeding is from fixtures, the mucous could be IBS, for example. Definitely try not to worry too much. Bowel cancer (if that is what it is and until you get results you don't know...) has become very treatable.
