I feel so stressed I'm losing my mind. Have had on/off diarrhoea for weeks - settles for a few days and then back again with a vengeance. I intermittent pains in right side near where my gallbladder used to live (had it removed 2 years ago). I have lost a v. small amount of blood on one occasion. On another occasion there was pink mucous when I wiped. I went to the GP last Weds and he referred me for colonoscopy under the 2 week urgent care rule. I am seeing a consultant this weds and I assume he'll refer me for colonoscopy asap. My bloods have been done but aren't back yet.
The biggest and most worrying thing for me is that I've lost weight...I don't weigh myself generally, being on the big side. However, I noticed my blouses are hanging off me and several people mentioned it at work. Pretty sure all the weight loss has happened in the last week-10 days or so - and it's probably half a stone or so (at a guess). I'm now monitoring it and trying to up my calories (never thought I'd say that). I suppose I have eaten less since the bleeding episode which freaked me totally. I have chosen bland food - no fried - so I guess I'm eating less calories but on top of all the other symptoms I am now ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED.
I don't actually think I can cope - I am on the verge of a breakdown. I spend every night wide awake, and ever day exhausted and trying to remain normal for the sake of my kids. I have this intermittent sharp pain in my right side which I have now convinced myself is liver cancer spread. I feel sharp pains in my abdomen constantly.
I feel I'm falling apart...I don't know where to go, what to do. I just can't cope. I am convinced I am dying. Please, please someone help me.
