Needing to poo all the time FIT referral

Hi there. I’m reaching out as I don’t want to voice this to my family. I’m absolutely terrified here. For the last few weeks I’ve been feeling like I need to poo and when I go I don’t completely evacuate. Sorry to be so graphic. 
I went to docs and she checked me out with the finger then referred me for a FIT test. I’m waiting for that in the post but I’m terrified of what’s wrong with me!! Don’t want to leave my young family yet!

    Hi Davey, so sorry to hear that, I can’t understand why your doctor didn’t give you a fit test to do, mine did and I got the positive results back in a couple of days. I’m on the 2ww and have my colonoscopy tomorrow, gonna start the bowel prep very soon. I hope you hear very soon and if you don’t I’d ask your doctor what’s going on. Take care and try not to worry too much, good luck x
