What's your symtoms? What bowel tests? Could it be that you have an IBD? I have crohn's disease, so many symptoms could suggest cancer. I was diagnosed nearly 30 years ago now with crohn's, but remember looking at my sleeping daughter crying as I thought I was dying from bowel cancer x

hey thanks for the reply so it started with changes of bowels really lose and smelly with a rash so they thought celiac I was screened and was negative I went back after because my lose bowel situation was starting to have a impact such as I wasn’t making it to the toilet it was happening while I was asleep so I was given buscapan and antidepressants and told me it may be ibs as they think I’m anxious so ok ... thenthen I start getting worse there is blood in my stools I actually start to feel more fatigue I’m restless etc o put of going back to the doctor because I feel like I’m annoying them daft I know but I couldn’t continue the way I was so I go back I have a melt down about everything going on I’m really low I’ve a constant bellyache I’ve a skin condition that’s got really sore I’m losing my appetite and result to that I’ve lost a fair bit of weight my bowels are still so lose and what I deem as out of control I’ve picked up every virus that’s gone around so they do a fbc along side aload of other bloods and four poo samples I’ve done all that my anemia levels are so low they are organising a transfusion for next week possibly blood transfusion and my fit test come back abnormal when the doctor called me to discuss this results she explained ibd etc but said I meet so many symptoms of bowel cancer I get she didn’t say I’ve got bowel cancer if I wasn’t anxious then I’m most certainly now I really get I match so many symptoms of so many other conditions im just in panic mode now x 

Sorry half post so while my transfusion is being arranged I had a urgent referral and on Tuesday I’ve to go straight for test a colonoscopy do you get a diagnosis then I just want to stop the panic and get on top of whatever ever this is x 

Hi, it does also sound like an IBD, all classic symptoms so please don't automatically presume it's cancer.

I'm in a crohn's and ulcerative colitis facebook page, going by my experiences and many others, you do get a report at the end so I really hope you'll be told something.

Have you ever had a colonoscopy before? I have no worries about them and have lost count how many I've had. I ask for all the sedation and gas and air.

There's a crohn's and colitis charity, look at their site at the symptoms.

Obviously not saying you have an ibd, but just so you know that it isn't just cancer that causes these symptoms, so maybe put your mind more at ease until you get a diagnosis 

Good luck 

Thank you
