Re: Bowel cancer - help
In reality, the end of the month isn't a long time to wait at all. But it is might as well be months when you are worried, right?
If it helps, I have had all of your symptoms and I don't have bowel cancer. I developed shooting pains up my bum when I was in my 30s and it was actually connected to my periods. That symptom went when I went through the menopause.
Lower back ache and aching in the back passage sounds like internal piles and the bleeding would explain that too, especially if the blood is fresh - as in bright red.
You just need to try and keep the HA reigned in until you get your bum cam. Stay away from the news as bowel cancer is prominent news this week. Unless you've already triggered yourself? And try to distract yourself by doing nice things. Think of something nice you can do after bum-cam. I always do this and the brain learns to associate hospital/dental etc appointments with something nice..
