Worried I have signs of bowel cancer

Hi all my first post here.

I'm having signs of bowel cancer, recently had a blood test and need repeat at the end of the month.

I don't know how I'm going to cope a whole month waiting for more bloods, but because I'm only 23 i dont feel confident to say to my drs please test me for it.

Not sure what im looking for here but i just needed to post somewhere 

Thanks

  • Hi there ...

    Well welcome to our little chat room ..

    I know just how scary it is thinking you have cancer ...esp with little ones ... you know over the years I had 4 call backs from mamorgrams ... and I panicked each time ... all those thoughts your having were going through my head ... each one turned out o.k ...

    There can be lots of reasons for your symptoms.... just holing it in, won't change the outcome .. it's so important to go get checked .. it's not about being brave , it's about being scared stiff but still doing what you have to ... that's being brave ..

    The sooner seen the soonest sorted ... and fingers crossed it will be something else ... but even if and that's a big if it is something , you owe it to your little one to get it sorted ... 

    So I think you know in your heart what to do ... that's why you found this place ... so tomorrow you make that appointment... your braver then you realise... we've all been where you are now. . Keep as busy as poss .. with a little one that should be easy .. try not to Google symptoms they always give worse case sinarios ... don't think what if ... easier said then done I know ...

    Wer always here, let us know how you go... big vertual hug Chrissie

  • Thank you for you response.

    I went to the drs wednesday who ordered a load of blood tests and a stool sample. All came back clear apart from one blood test hence needing a retest.

    I just dont know how to say it to the dr
