Why cancer?
My Big C fears came from family history with cancer. Where has this fear come from with you?
To be honest, your symptoms read classic IBS to me..
Needing to wee more is a symptom of IBS. I'm not sure why, but possibly it's to do with the extra gas putting pressure on the bladder?
Also, anxiety and IBS go hand in hand and needing to go for a wee more often is an anxiety symptom because it's part of the stress response (fight or flight)
Work on relaxation and untensing those abdominal muscles and address your health anxiety - starting at the very beginning.
What tests have you had to date re these symptoms?
