Hello,
Since this february I have been struggling with various degrees of HA. It kind of started when my denist found some white patches under my tongue which had to be evaluated by an oral surgeon. At app. the same time my 5 year old niece, my father-in-law and a friend`s brother was diagnosed with different cancers. My friend`s brother is sadly dead now but the others seems to be doing fine. Anyhow; this hit me like a ton of bricks and ever since I have had this dread about me having cancer too.
I have had a CT-scan of my abdomen, MR of my head, x-ray of my chest and pretty extensive blood work. All of which turned out fine. This made me relax a bit and I was starting to get better.
But now I took one of those three days stool sample tests because my stomach has really beeen acting up lately.
It is the kind of test where you smear a bit of the inside of your stool on a cardboard folder for three days and it is then analyzed for presence of blood. I couldn`t see any blood when I took the samples but when it got analyzed yesterday the sample from one of the days turned out to be positive.
This scared me no end and here I`am again back to square one: terrified of cancer.
Has any of you ever taken this kind of test and it turned out positive? If so; what turned out to be the cause?
BTW: I`m 35, male, 1.94m and about 100kg.
