Cancer fear

Hi all. I have the most terrible fear of having some sort of cancer in the stomach. I have been having problems with an annoying ache in my left side and for the past 3 weeks I've been having loose bowls. Last Sunday I went to the toilet and the bowl was FILLED with bright red blood I still have the annoying ache and I am terrified. Any reassurance will be appreciated. 

  • Hello Wardy11,

    Thank you for posting. I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have. The best thing to do is to go and see your doctor about these problems. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers on an online forum, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor.  

    I hope this is helpful,
