Hi,
I am new to the forum but have suffered with health anxiety for years.
I have convinced myself I have every cancer going
The new one is bowel cancer
The doctor has diagnosed me with IBS took a blood test and said my ferritin is low but not concerned just take iron for three months
I am in such a panic its bowel cancer and they have dismissed me because I suffer from HA.
Been back to the GP several times and he keeps assuring me that all my other bloods were fine and there is nothing to flag up bowel cancer
I have even considered going private to get a colonoscopy as I so convinced I am going to be the one one at my age that gets it
Other than the ferritin my symptoms of that of IBS, but I am just so scared they are missing something
sorry for rambling
