Has anyone done a home screening? I’m not old enough for the NHS one yet because I’m only 35 but I’ve been thinking of ordering one.
I’ve had 1 instance of bleeding when I was pregnant but I had hemorrhoids
1 instance of bleeding 1 year after childbirth
Which I THINK was a fissure or hemorrhoids because it was a large stool (TMI) and also agonizingly painful to pass.
Last few days I felt very sick and now started getting loose stools as well, I’m guessing a bug but the thing is all of it gathered together plus anxiety is a terrible mix for diagnosing yourself with bowel cancer, my aunt had it when she was about 65 and my grandad on the other side did but about the same age or older.
Worth doing a home test?
I have spoken to the doctor about the bleeding, she did a quick rectal exam and said she couldn’t feel anything, she didn’t explain what that meant and seemed vague!
