Re: New to the forum and TERRIFIED I have bowel cancer, please help.
A 30 year old female who has never experienced bowel issues is very unlikely to have bowel cancer. Nobody can say it's impossible, but it is extremely unlikely.
You obviously gave off no red flags to the doctor who examined you. You should hold onto that, because it is very reassuring. Anything that gave the doctor cause for concern would have been mentioned. GPs are wonderful, but there's very little they can tell, so referral was always going to happen.
Just as an example, I have a very strange, rather ugly lesion on my chest. I went to see my GP, who referred me straight away. The urgency had me worried it was something serious. However, it was entirely benign. Sometimes things that we think are terrifying are nothing to worry about.
