Dear All,
I'm not expecting any answers but posting as I'm worried sick.
I have small haemorrhoids but they are no bother and never bleed or anything. Anyway, I went to the toilet yesterday (bowels) ans on the paper was a significant amount of fresh blood. I rang the GP surgery and they fitted me in straight away. I had a rectal examination and the GP said she can feel a lump. She said she needs to refer me as an emergency to the local colorectal surgeon. Obviously I am worried sick that I have cancer, so my mum is paying for me to be seen tomorrow morning at a private hospital.
I've just picked up the letter I need to hand over tomorrow and opened it.....it explains that she isn't sure if the lump is in the rectum or the cervix.
So................I have my appt tomorrow and will have camera up bottom. More anxious as my best friends mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer in June and died in October.
It's just nice to be able to get that off my chest.:weep:
