Hi Sian123456,

Thank you for posting on Colon Cancer Connected. I hate to hear you’re experiencing this, but I would be more concerned about the stomach pains. It is very difficult to diagnose with just a picture of a stool sample. What you are experiencing could be caused by many different things. I wouldn’t jump to being a cancer yet, but I would think it’s worth getting checked out on a doctor level. You could have a FIT test done with the stool sample to see if there’s anything going on there. Also, a discussion on what could possibly be causing the stomach pains.

Another good thing to know is if there’s any hereditary medical issues going on in the family. This is good information for your doctor to know as well as it could lead to some further tests.

I do wish you the very best in finding answers to what’s going on. I think getting checked out by the doctor will give you a lot of peace of mind. It’s always good to know and not have to speculate.

Thank you
