Hi all,
I’ve just turned 46 and have had irregular bowel habits for most of my adult life. I recently had some blood when I went to the loo and thought it best to get checked out, mainly because my dad has bowel cancer which is now in his lungs. He is well and has had surgery. I was shocked to be phoned by my gp today to say that my fit test was positive at 53 ug/g and that she would send me for a colonoscopy within 2 weeks. I’m scared because of the family history, I take after my dad in many ways. I’m mainly scared because of my children. My youngest is having mental health issues alongside going through GCSEs and the last thing he needs is his mum being poorly or worse.
I’m just wondering if anyone else has had the same result with a similar family history and how it went.
Thank you
