I am extremely scared of Bowel Cancer. Please help!

Hello,

I am not sure what is happening to me. But it all started back in February. I had an unknown and strange stomach pain that started from lower left side of abdomen radiating towards centre then right. And due to that pain I felt like i need to go to the toilet for BM and frequent urination however i just could not pass anything. And always felt pressure in the lower abdomen and rectum area. This went on but doc just said it is IBS. I had several blood tests and Stomach Ultrasound all fine. It went away on it's own so wasn't much worried. But every month i still get a weird lower right sided or left lower sided stomach pain and same rectum pressure and feeling like having BM but cannot pass anything. But it stays only for a day or 2. But this very month I have experienced the same thing but I saw bright red spots of blood on toilet paper. I was so scared. My BM is very soft and i did spot small amount of blood in my stool like 2 times. Now I am extremely scared that it could be something serious and doctors totally do not pay attention. I have extreme anxiety and these things make it worse for me. I am a graduate looking for jobs however, such things put me off and cannot concentrate on anything. I am 23 years old and i know it is very rare to have something serious. It could be IBS but i am not sure 😦

Any comments would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
