Worried and need advice

Ive been having pains in my side for a while now and i had a bit of a scare when my bowels started to go crazy and felt i still needed to go and i still have the pain and im really worried.i have ultra sounds next week on my stomach. My doctor said im not anemic so do that mean i dont have cancer? Im so worried can anyone help? Thankyou in advance. 

  • Hello!

    while I can’t comment on your symptoms,what I can say is that you’ve done the right thing in coming to this site. The members here are lovely,always kind and re assuring.

    I’m also waiting on some tests and like you I’m worried sick. I just want you to know that’s it’s ok to feel like this, I felt I was the only one when my doctor referred me but this group has been a godsend. Distraction is good. Do you have any hobbies or interests that may take your mind off things? Maybe go for a nice walk. One thing I’ve learnt is to stay off google. I’m panicked myself even further by going on there and googling my symptoms! Google is not a doctor or specialist,it is a cause of more worry! 

    If you need a chat at any time or are worried then you are more than welcome to message me. 

    I wish you well on your journey xxx

  • Hi you sound like your panicking a little it's possible you could have something bad, or as simple as a stumack bug. Try to relax a bit find something to occupy your mind we all have problems here just some cope better than others. Look after yourself good luck with doctor.
