I managed to see a nurse practitioner today who was very nice, and reassured me that I wasn't being silly, or wasting her time (although I do still feel a bit daft).

I have two bowel samples to take, and I'm booked in for a blood test in two weeks.

I was kind of hoping she would tell me my fears were completely unfounded and no tests were needed, but then I suppose she wouldn't be doing her job.

Just got to try and keep my anxiety in check until the results are back  

Hi GlitterB we all panic and jump to worst case scenario!  I am on a 2 week suspected cancer referral for possible endometrial cancer - saw my GP on 17 July so it's well over 2 weeks.  I've had a smear test, bowel cancer test and ultrasound.  The smear and bowel cancer were both clear and I have a hysteroscopy on Monday.  Keep pushing the Dr's and write down your symptoms if that helps.  Don't let them fob you off!  Good luck and hope all goes well x

Hi Tessmum, thank you for replying.

The practitioner was really good, and didn't try to fob me off. I'll have to see what happens when the results are back. I did go in with a list, which was just as well as I was a blubbering wreck!

I hope your hysteroscopy goes as well as it can, and fingers crossed for a positive outcome. 

Thank you x  Glad you managed to see someone who was sympathetic.  I'm lucky I have really good GPs.
