Almost certain I have bowel cancer

Hi there, 

 

I have recently received a call from my doctor having taken a fit test which has come back positive. I have had symptoms for sometime now however I have not been taken seriously because of my age (25). I have lost weight, had pain in my stomach area and my stools have changed in consistency. Either small pebbles or large soft stools. Now I feel genuinely unwell. I know no one here are doctors but I just wanted to someone's advice who has had it has bowel cancer and what to expect. I know I sound very negative however I know my body and I am almost certain this is the case. 

  • Hi Kg2,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. As you say, unfortunately no-one here can really advise on your situation. The best thing is to discuss this with your doctor who is best placed to advise specifically to you. Try to avoid thinking ahead or thinking the worst in the meantime as it will likely not help how you're feeling.

    I hope you're able to find out more soon.

    All the best,
