Colon cancer worries
Posted , 3 users are following.
I'm 26 yrs old. Female. Overweight.
For around 6 weeks I have had rectal bleeding, I have been told to go for a colonoscopy I have booked in but the first consolation isn't for 3 months!! I'm really worried I might have colon cancer, it all started with a hard BM then a little bleeding I chalked it up to a tear from the hard stool, then the stomach pain & on and off nausea the bleeding continued bouts of constipation and soft stool not quite diarrhoea I could been going to the toilet 7-9 times a day then normal stool. Every time I go to the toilet it's completely different some times I have small flat looking stool some times round always spots of blood some times more then a. Few spots, I've also noticed white seed/nut looking things in my stool every time but haven't eaten any. Pain in upper right abdomen, pain in lower middle abdomen bloating feeling full rectal pain (sometimes) general feeling of unwell.
Any suggestions what it could be I'm so upset over it I cry all the time I'm so stressed I'm so looking forward to my colonoscopy.

Also about 2 weeks ago I noticed a white worm about 2.5cm long on the toilet paper I took a worming tablet I haven't seen anymore since but my symptoms haven't subsided so that mustn't have been the cause of my symptoms.

If you can't get referred for a colonoscopy sooner- and that seems like a very long wait- I'd suggest going to A&E the next time if happens. If you can collect some evidence of whats happening, maybe into a tupperware type tub, so much the better.

I went to a different Dr today I had blood test and have to do feacal occult test to check if blood is in my stool or rectal bleeding, also being sent for abdominal ultrasound looking at liver & gallbladder. Unfortunately I live in a small town ultrasound place doesn't reopen until 9th January.

I went to the emergency department and they weren't too concerned with my symptoms and told me to wait until my appointment in March. My pain has subsided somewhat but defiantly still there, also I don't seem to be bleeding as frequently but when I do there seems to be much more blood than what was previously there. I'm so scared i just want to go to my appointment and find out what is wrong with me!

I got some blood work back today it has made me more worried about having cancer. My iron levels have dropped to 7.9
CRP:16.1 (normal range 0.0-5.0)
A few of my other have changed a bit but are within normal range. My GP was not very helpful at all explaining things, i feel worse about things now then what I did before I saw him. I havent stopped crying since I got home I'm so worried I won't be here for my baby

Yesterday I had yellow/brown diarrhea today I'm a bit constipated but I did manage a small b/m it was very dark on the toilet paper with some mucus but the mucus has been happening a bit lately. I'm unsure what to do? Should I go tell my GP who knows I've been going through this or should I wait for my specialist appointment in 6 weeks?
