I had stomach ache and what felt like colic on the 2nd December, throughout the early hours I had Diarrhoea about 6 times. I checked my stool about 11am and found fresh blood. On the phone to 111. Off to A&A, blood test all ok, rectum examination ok. Was told it was gastroenteritis. As my bowel improved I noticed streaks of blood. Phoned doctor and FIT was done. Phone call today for referral. NHS App says suspected colorectal cancer. Shocked or what. Managed to stop shaking to write this. As I was still showing blood, would this not have swayed the FIT. No blood showing at all now. Bowel movements nearly back to normal. Bit of bloating.
I know a check is imperative but worried sick and anxiety levels off the scale!
Any words will help me.
Thank you.
