Possible colon cancer worries

Hi everyone I have had issues since October 2018 with my bowel movements..... Suffer with hemarhoids aswell.. I have a colonoscopy on the 17th December im absolutely scared to death anyone with experience of bowel cancel... I do have mucus when I wipe I also have blood sometimes not all the time been 13 months now surely if it was cancer something serious would of happened ???

Not sure if it helps I'm only 31 male cheers

Any advice appreciated thank you 

  • Hi UK118 

    Hope your results post colonoscopy came back all clear. How was the procedure for you? I am due to have one on 14th Jan but dr told me It will be under general so I will be fast asleep!! 
     

    Thanks

  • Hi didn't have it as I wasn't very well .... Still waiting for another appointment ... What is your appointment for and what have they said ? Thanks

  • I've been suffering from piles/fissures and hemorrhoids for over 10 years and have had plenty of surgeries, creams the works but for the past few weeks now my bowel habits have changed I'm now finding myself having to go the loo 5+ times a day and am getting abdominal pain quite abit and felling tired a lot but worse offf is there is a lot of blood clots after each bowel movement and so have been asked to go in for a colonoscopy (last one I had was 3 years ago) to get it checked out. My bloods have come back normal ish (low iron) I have never had stool tested (I might ask for that to be done). Feeling anxious about it and don't know why as it's not like it'll be the first time for me I guess it's because of the changes I'm experiencing. 
     

    hoping it's nothing for us both! 

  • Yeah hopefully everything is ok and could be polips they suspect chrons disease with me I'm just hoping it isn't cancer good luck to you please let me no when you hear anything :) take care
