Following on from my previous post about anal cancer fears etc, I've read that sometimes bowel cancer doesn't have any symptoms until it's too advanced and also now am worrying myself stupid as I haven't felt at all well in spells last weekend and again this weekend. Felt so ill on Saturday when I had to take my Mum out shopping but struggled on and felt a bit better yesterday but kept getting a weird spell where I would feel really sickly and weak and had to lie down and then picked up again.
Read some previous posts about 'stool colour' and now have frightened myself even more as I normally have loose stools - usually first thing when I get up and then if I'm really anxious, throughout the day - I'm rarely if ever, constipated but this last week or so, have missed a day and then been a bit harder to go initially but then softer at the end...last night though, passed a strange colour one - bit lighter than normal mustardy ones (sorry if TMI...) almost, pale and then really panicked as just read on here that that is a sign of liver problems.....I've just had a liver and abdomen ultrasound but was all clear and my bloods are clear apart from a very slight raised white cell count that the Dr wasn't concerned about but should I be? Maybe it's masking something going on...
I'm now convinced that it's bowel cancer - no blood that I can see but I also read that you can feel ill with bowel cancer and now I think it's advanced and too late to treat as I've been like this with HA again and symptoms since May and all stemmed from a supposed UTI...do people really recover from bowel cancer? All the people I read about or know about didn't and they say if you can catch it early, it's curable but I don't think mine will be now...worried sick. Feel really out of control with this HA this time.:weep:
