Worried I have colon cancer

Hi everyone..

It started with wee blood spots in poo to having diarrhea more often. Then suddenly changes with my stools to blood clots. Also have pain in my right hand side. GP has been fab. My FIT test was 122 is this high? My colonoscopy is next week. I am worried sick. Any advice would ge really helpful.

  • Hi, I’m in a similar position. GP initially diagnosed haemorrhoids but when I went to see my consultant, he rushed through MRI scan, colonoscopy and biopsy. They have removed the lump they found but I’m still waiting for biopsy results 4 weeks later. Make sure you have plenty of ibuprofen, paracetamol, movicol sachets, high fibre foods, I would highly recommended a rubber ring to sit on. A sitz bath helps a lot. Good luck, just don’t ne afraid to ask for help.
