19, I think I have bowel cancer

3 weeks ago I was in the emergency department with suspected appendicitis once I was seen it went from appendicitis to twisted ovary then I was sent home in agony without a diagnosis was just told it was either bowel or bladder problems, since I've had bloods taken which are normal and show no sign of infection same with urine samples, I've since had pain in my lower right abdomen and a lump there I've had blood in my poo that looks like streaky blood in the poo no blood in the toilet water or on toilet paper just in the stool, I'm really concerned no one is taking me seriously and I'm very anxious about this and would really like some advice as a lot of my symptoms are pointed to bowel cancer

  • It could be so many things.  Colitis.  Chrohns.  Ibs.  But I would still keep pushing them and get a diagnosis don't automatically think the worse though .  At your age it is extremely unlikely.  I have had blood in my poo for over 25 years which are due to piles.  But you still need to be diagnosed don't take no for an answer.  

  • Thankyou, I know it could be so many things this lump in my tummy has me really concerned and the blood in my stool has no other symptoms other than it's there so I know it's not piles I'm just stressing as so many of my symptoms are pointing towards it, I will keep pushing calling my gp tomorrow I just really hope it isn't cancer 

  • Diverticulitis . Can cause lumps and bleeding in your stool.  They form pouches of inflammation in your tummy and cause bleeding in your stools.  Call your dr tomorrow tel him how worried you are. The lump and the bleeding. And make sure he listens to you.  Purely for your peace of mind.  But if it's diverticulitis or chrons then it needs treating anyway.  

  • Yeah that's a really good point Thankyou for your help I will do that, I know the chances of it being cancer are low but never impossible, hopefully I get an answer soon
