Ascending colon cancer worried

Hello

i am new to this forum and just want to see if anyone as had similar issues. I have been suffering with constipation for about 5 months it’s not been bad I’ve still been going every other day. Anyway I had a bowel movement around October and it was quite big(sorry) then 2 days later had another one and there was loads of blood. 2 days later same thing again then no blood since. I have got a tight pulling feeling in my right side and near and above hip(love handles). I only feel it pulling when I lie on my left side. My doctor sent me for a scan of ovaries they were ok and took fbc which was fine. He as just done a fit yes that as come back abnormal 21ug and as referred me for urgent colonoscopy which is tomorrow. I’ve never slept for a week and not been eating due to worry. I’m worried sick about bowel cancer as I lost my husband to cancer 5 years ago. I suffer bad health anxiety. I am 53 years old and have 2 children. Sorry for the long post.

  • Hey sweetie, I am very sorry that you're so stressed. I understand what you're going through. I'm 37 and waiting for my FIT results. I had no bleeding but I have 2 hard ljmos

    in my groin. And I'm scared they're cancerous lymph nodes. 
    as for colonoscopy. Sometimes polyps cause bleeding. Only that you have a blood detected it doesn't mean that it's a cancer. It might be a polyp. I know it's easy to say.... and it wouldn't help me anyway as I still would be freak out. I hope for the best for you
