I am sorry for going on a little bit too much.

Even though I have been worrying about bowel cancer for a while now. At age 29 bowel cancer would be very rare with no family history.

We don't have any history of bowel conditions from what i know of apart from my mum has IBS when she was younger.

I have had told that I have IBS with my symptoms (abdominal pain) even though I had ultrasound, blood test, rectal examation gloved finger and abdominal felt a number of times nothing found.

but do have concerns about crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, diverticular and any other condition to do with the bowel I should not be reading about these things on the Internet, talk to doctor.

Even though I should not be reading about bowel cancer articles on the Internet people being misdigonsed sadly. My adomonial pains have gone down now.

When my Dad had to do his sample screening reading through the information sheet which I should not have done, concerns about hidden blood in stool and bowel polyps.

I don't think I have any of the red flag symptoms because I had a blood test which came back fine, not going more or less often than I usually do, not water/diarrhoea, doctors could not feel any lumps in my stomach/abdominal area or in my rectal or can see any blood in my poo, toilet bowel, bleeding from bottom.

I have not loss weight because if I had loss weight without trying one of my family members or neighbours would have mention it, my clothes arnt hanging off me.

I just want more tests because I am worried it is not IBS like my doctors has said it is I should trust them because before 2012 I had not even heard of bowel cancer or much about other bowel oondtions.
