Anxious and worried

Anxiousandworried1

Hi. I'm a 45yo female and a couple of months ago noticed a little blood in my poo. Then, a change in bowel habits.

Last week, I had a FIT test and yesterday I was contacted to say it was positive with a score of 237. My blood tests all came back clear. I have been put on the 2 week cancer pathway for a colonoscopy. My grandfather died of lung cancer at 90 and my uncle of skin cancer at 40.

To add more pressure, we fly to Majorca tonight for 10 nights (me, my husband and our 14yo and 11yo daughters)

I feel sick with worry and so anxious. Timing could not be worse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    1. Life throws curve balls at us when we really least want them doesntbit? but the most important thing is you got yourself checked out asap and you are going to be seen very soon
    2. It is completely understandable to feel anxious and Im sure you will until you have more information / waiting is hard try to take one day at a time 
    3. I hope you are able to find some rest from the worry whilst away .....see it has a chance to recharge before your next appointment.
    4. You will get thru whatever comes sending strength. RB.
