Hi, I've been experiencing diarrhoea for over 3 years now they told me it was ibs but I knew it wasnt.

I get stomach cramps and pain near my belly button and then need the toilet it's always running and smells foul can differ in colour sometimes really light and really dark like cow pak ‍♀️.. I get mucus in there aswell. I can have up to 10 stools a day.

It doesn't matter if I eat I will still go but when I do it goes through my system within half a hour.

Im always tierd but haven't lost any weight i dont think.

Apparently colitis and bowel cancer runs in my family I'm only 27 nearly 28.

I went for stool sample came back extremely high in inflammation and blood test came back also high in inflammation.

Couple years back I went for my smear and they said it was stage a1a?? 

I'm still waiting for a appointment for colonoscopy  and biopsy but I'm getting worried it could be cancer? 

 

Has anyone ever had any experiences like mine???

    Hello,

    It might be an option and maybe something else but you need to rule it out asap.

     

    Please view all my previous threads but a version of my cancer when it is active you can go 20 times to the toilet and potentially a Neuroendocrine Tumour that is treatable if caught early or soon, This cancer is curable but it mimics other illnesses in the body such as IBS and people are wrongly treated for this illness.

    It is unlikely but worth ruling out.

    You need to see your GP and either request a CT scan or MRI scan with respect to the GP it might be an option to get referred to a NET Specialist as there are treatments that can deal with your condition. There are not many about but you might be lucky? A lot of GPs have no idea of a NET as they are very rare.

    Good Luck
