Hi all,

first off thanks for taking the time to read! 

Where do I start!!!! Last week I had really bad lower back pain, but didn’t think too much of it and prior to that had constipation. I played football on the Monday evening and once I got home I went to jump in the shower only to discover my underwear were saturated in blood. A visit to A&E and an examination has referred me to a cancer specialist at another hospital which concerns me a great deal as the hospital I attended have their own Colorectal clinic. Bloods were taken and my haemoglobin levels were high (non smoker).

I have chased the consultant whose secretary has informed me I have an urgent appointment which wont be until August due to the strikes etc.

probably shouldn’t have but I googled signs and symptoms and apart from weight lose I tick all the other boxes  

I have never been in this position before and no idea what to think of it all or process it. I don’t really have people to talk to who may understand my worries. Am I over thinking it?
