I think this is the worst health anxiety I have ever had. I'm absolutely convinced its bowel cancer.
I paid privately and saw a consultant who did a rigid sigmoidoscopy and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with me but wants me to have the flexible sigmoidoscopy that my nhs doctor wanted me to orginally have. The trouble is I was so flustered in my appointment with him and a little embarrassed that I was there I didn't ask about a colonscopy or what he actually thought was wrong. I had a small amount of blood from my rectum about an hour after having a poo. I asked what to do if it happened again and he said don't worry!!!.
I'm in such a state, I really think I want to pay for a colonscopy but its £1500. If I don't I think I'm going to go mad! I'm so low, I'm not eating and now I have bloated tummy and really lose bowels, my rational brain says thats anxiety but my un rational says there you go cancer!
I thought seeing the consultant would help but it hasn't. I dont know what to do anymore.
sorry for ranting xx
