sigmoidoscopy

Hi, I'm after a little bit of advice or anyone else who is suffering 

so for a while now I've been having horrendous, stomach pains, tiredness, my bones ache, I have zero energy, bad headaches, pain under my left rib, and lots of other symptoms, I went to my doctor who referred me for a sigmoidoscopy, who said he hasn't really seen anything worrying but took some biopsy's and said I should hear back from them soon, however that doesn't solve my pain, everything I seem to look up links to some kind of cancer, if they didn't seem worried on the scans should I just trust that it's nothing? 
I am so tempted to keep pestering the doctor and I feel so poorly 24/7?

  • Hi lucyloo989,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I'm sorry to read that you've been having these issues. Firstly try to take reassurance that the doctor said he hasn't seen anything worrying. If he has taken a biopsy then you'll get the results of this in due course, and at that point you can use this as an opportunity to discuss with your doctor any additional concerns you may have.

    I hope it's not too long to wait for the results and I hope things ease soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
