Okay, I know this sounds ridiculous but i have been getting myself in such a state that I Have Bowel Cancer. I have had stomach pains for the last 9 months and I have had blood tested, the doctor has said it is IBS.
They have given me tablets for this, that dont really apear to be doing anything as im still getting pains. I have also lost over a stone. I have had a loss of apetite, although the last month i have been eating more.
last time i went to the doc they said if there was no improvement they will give me scans, but now i am really freaked out about the scans i know the chances of Bowel cancer is very low in my age group (lower than the risk from the scans.. which is why having the scans is making me so worried).
I know its wrong to google, but i keep reading all of these things about young people and bowel cancer and how it almost always gets misdiagnosed with IBS.. I think what worries me the most is the fact that the doctor hasnt ruled it out so i know theres a chance that I could have it however ridiculous it sounds. I often feel tired and achy and frequently need the toilet.
AND I JUST CANT HELP THINKING WHAT IF THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH ME.. i obviously have nxiety about it which is making it a lot worse but that doesnt mean that the symptoms couldnt be somthing else?
