Could this be Bowel / Stomach Cancer

Hi all

In about December my stomach started playing up, i had one day of diarrhoea that did go quickly.  Anyways since then all day every day my stomach has been making loud and i mean loud gurgling / rumbling noises.  Everyone around me can hear them and its worse after i have eaten but they are there all the time.

Before Christmas i did go and see a GP (not mine as he was on Holiday) she was very dismissive and although she did a physical check of my stomach bascially sent me on my way and made me feel like i had waisted her time.

So on to today..the noises are still there louder than ever and show no sign of going away.  I am going to make an appointment with my GP but waiting times are about a week, I am 41 year old male by the way.

Could this be a sign i have bowel / Stomach Cancer? Dr google is freaking me out and i am conviced i now have that.

Thanks for any input

Chris

    I went to the doctors for exactly the same thing plus everynow and then, I have had occasional bleeding.

    I was sent for a hospital referral. I had a sigmoidoscopy at the beginning of January where they found a polyp which was sent for testing. Last week I had a letter saying the polyp was a tubulovillos adenoma with mild grade dysplasia. I am now going into hospital on Monday for a full colonoscopy. I still haven't had the chance to speak about what this means as its all come through the post but I am trying to avoid Dr Google as I know it will freak me out. I guess I will find out on Monday - eek!
