4.5 years ago I was having terrible issues with my bowels. My GP shrugged it off, despite me advising them, and showing them a picture of something coming out of my rectum. I had no choice but to go private at that point and he examined me and contacted a consultant at the NHS to see me. Within 2 week I was in having a growth the size of a golf ball removed from my rectal area. It turned out to be pre cancerous.
My half sister has just been diagnosed with advanced breast cancer. And I think the shock of that is giving me anxiety about my bowels again. I'm due a check up in January.
I was just wondering if it's inevitable that the same thing could happen again? Or if anyone has had similar and the went on to develop cancer?
I'm probably just over thinking but I have a wee boy now and the worry kept me up lastnight.
