Hello everyone
I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. Basically I'm terrified I have colon cancer. It's all I've been thinking about the past several days. Prior to this I've convinced myself of having lung, cervical, and breast cancer.
My symptoms are: occasional diarrhea, constipation, minor blood while wiping (tiny dots - sometimes even one dot of blood), back pain, sometimes back cramps that feel like my period that is relieved with bowel movement, occasional dark stools, occasional thin stools (usually when constipated), a clear/ watery/liquid/mucus discharge and some seepage of stool (sorry if tmi, it's basically like I need to wipe again between bms - this is new and was brought on while I have been extremely anxious), lower abdominal discomfort, and I've lost weight (but I've been dieting).
I'm just so, so freaking scared I have cancer. I saw my family doctor and they initially said it's likely ulcerative colitis or ibs and told me to make an apt with the GI. Which I've done. I have an apt on the 5th. But in the mean time, can anyone comfort me? Does it sound like IBS or Ulcerative Colitis? How likely do you think I have cancer? I'm a 28 yar old female with great grandparents who had colon cancer.
