Hi everyone,
I am struggling with the worry off colon c.
I have had issues for a while with my stools and sometimes they have been thin but would go back to normal but this time they haven’t and it’s really worrying me. They have been thin for a few weeks now. I have been under stress but this has never happened for so long before.
I had a colonoscopy done 2 years in January but that’s so long ago now. Nothing was found which was a relief. I had the colonoscopy done because I had digestive issues and my stools were yellow and floating. But now I’m having the thin stools for ages. I have had the stool test looking for blood and it was clear but I still can’t shake the worry.
My school friend passed away at 38 from bowel cancer and this sticks in my mind as well. I wasn’t in contact with her at the time so don’t know how it happened but with this age things do get dismissed sometimes.
I remember when my stools changed and I was taking extra vitamin C and drinking fruit and veg powder shakes and I was going to the toilet 3 times some days and on one particular time I remember straining so much and this is roughly when things changed.
I will keep pushing the doctors but need to reach out and talk to people about this.
