Terrified

[Apinke]

I have had upper left quadrant abdominal pain for some time and I am worried it’s colon cancer .

I also feel these spasms and noises on my stomach but not all the time .Feels like my intestines are curling .

I have had bloods done all clear apart from slight anaemia and doctor said my vitamin d was low.i have had ultrasounds both abdominal and trans vagina and a were fine apart from gall stones and I was told it will be left side pain .

I haven’t lost any weight but I have had coccyx pain for 3 years now and I have had MRIs then to check the coccyx and it looked as if a bone was out of place .

I also had a CT scan in 2018 December after I had Terirbke stomach pain and it was all clear apart from traces of blood in my Urine and I had a flexible cystoscope to check the kidneys and they were all fine too.

I am worried about this abdominal pain and I am wondering if it could be colon cancer .I have no bloods in my stool but I see mucus occasionally .I also had two stool tests done and it was negative for heliobacter.

I have been to the GP but she referred me to GI consultant and I was given an appointment for December which is too long and I have gone back to say it’s too far and she will re do it as urgent.

Does anybody have any advice for me or suggestions.thanks

Hello Apinke, I'm sorry to hear about what you are going through. December is quite a long time off and I would suggest that you advocate for an earlier appointment. With the pain you are experiencing, it is unreasonable that you wait five months for an appointment. Is it possible to seek out another specialist for an earlier appointment? Please keep us updated.
