Hi everyone,
I’ve had a low level pain in my lower right abdomen for a few weeks, so went to the docs thinking it was a grumbling appendix. Blood tests showed severe anaemia that lead me to have a blood transfusion. I’ve got an ultrasound booked in and consultation in the gastro clinic, but my searching on the internet for answers (I know, I know...) is freaking me out, and I can’t stop myself!!
I had no symptoms typical of anaemia, have felt pretty normal apart from low level pain in abdo. No bleeding when I go to toilet, no constipation but diarrhoea in the past few days. Past few days have also had stomach cramps and sickness. I’m so worried it’s cancer, but keep telling myself I’d have more symptoms. Would I?!
Really scared. Mum of 2 young kids and can’t contemplate what that route would look like...
Also, I think I’m going to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy -any advice on how to prepare would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reading xxx
