Hi All,
a few weeks ago I had loose stools followed by constipation for a few days, feel of pressure down there (🙂 and lightheaded ness. Basically all symptoms of CRC. Then after a week or so the symptoms passed and I’ve been worried about dry eyes, breast cancer, MS and probably others but yesterday I had loose stool again 😢😢 and now the feeling of pressure again, I believe it’s called tenesmus but it’s not an urge to go it’s just awareness of “that area”.
i used to get a day or so between health worries now they are just back to back. I was at doctors asking about breast cancer and as soon as that fear was sorted I was thinking about bowel cancer before I left her office.
Please help, I’m too scared for a colonscopy but paralysed with fear I’m not going to see my baby grow up, he needs his mum 😢
I just want to know whether there’s any major difference between ibs and bowel cancer or do I need to pay for a colonscopy?
thank you, I’m a 30 year old female btw, getting to that age where it’s no longer super rare
