Advice needed! Abdominal pain

I’m a 20 year old f and for the past 9 weeks have been experiencing extreme left sided abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits and fatigue and nausea. I have had numberous tests everything looked okay until I had a colonoscopy of the bowel which discovered a 2 mmm polyp which has been removed has anyone else had these symptoms caused by a polyp or has turned out to be any cancer related illness I have a big history of cancer in my family and am growing more worried due to still being in pain and still having symptoms any advice would be really helpful! I am awaiting the biopsy of the polyp removed. Thank you

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some ongoing health problems. We know that waiting for results can be a very difficult time. Try to keep in mind that it would be very unusual for you to be diagnosed with bowel cancer at your age. 

    I hope that you don't have to wait too long and that things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,
