Hi I'm 54 , lost a few friends to cancer and at the moment with a change to my bowel movements, an aching pain in my lower left stomach area , and just generally feeling nauseous and tired I'm convinced I have cancer ... I've had my coil checked all ok , urine sample , blood pressure , heart rate and temperature all ok ... got to take a stool sample in today and have blood tests done but I'm not eating or sleeping properly just so stressed !

  • Hello Callywally0412
    I'm sorry to hear that you're concerned about a health problem at the moment. It's a difficult time for many people and it's natural that you're not eating or sleeping properly if you're stressed. 

    Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the results of the blood and stool tests. We know that waiting can be difficult. Try to take each day as it comes and not think too far ahead. 

    If you'd like to speak to one of our nurses about your concerns then you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm). 

    Best wishes,
