mass found in abdominal 20 year old.

Hi, I had some stomach pains lower abdomen right side around the appendix area, the pain being going for 2 months with constipation, i started taking some medicine like fibrogel and movicol to make me go better at toilet, which helped, but then some cramping happened and I went to doctor and he made a scan ultrasound. At first when he called me when he said I had a mass I went in shock I don't remember where he said I had and it I don't remember if he said it was 6cm big or 6mm all I know they said it was a small lump found. The thing is that I don't see any blood in my stools I have done FIT test still waiting for 2 weeks for my result. The moment I found out I started freaking out my life like isn't good now, Idk if it's anxiety, before  even with constipation and pain it was all manageable I could go to the gym. but after I found out about lump like I became extra tired and sad and every other pain what I get makes me think the cancer is spreading. like now I get  chest pain and I m worried about it too and my life pretty much sucks now.

I'm waiting for a referral to a surgeon that's what my doctor said so I have no idea what will go on..

    No doubt this is a worrying time but try not to let your mind run away from you if you can until you know more. I know this is much easier said than done but you're not alone as many of our members have been in similar positions so will know what you're going through at the moment and hopefully some of them will be along soon to offer their support and advice.

    I hope the FIT test results bring good news and that all goes well with your referral.

    Kind regards,
