Possible Bowel Cancer

He attended his appointment and the doctor advised that he had found a large polyp on his colon and that he couldn’t rule out bowel cancer. We are all absolutely petrified and have no idea what to expect / do.

Bowel cancer

I fear I may have bowel cancer. Can anyone give me some insight about symptoms, treatment as well as survival rates in the UK?

Terrified of a positive FIT test

As you can imagine I am terrified this being bowel cancer . I do have another colonoscopy booked in for next Sunday. How likely is this to be cancer when I only had a colonoscopy in 2020 please

Bloods.

I'm worried about bowel cancer. I know I will need a Colonoscopy to see what's happening. I am terrified of going tomorrow. What can they tell by the blood tests I wonder.

Worried

I have been to the doctors multiple times however they always tell me i’m too young to be worried about anything and put it down to ibs. however my mum and grandma have both had bowel polyps / bowel cancer in their lifetimes so there is a family history.

Family History

I am just wondering how much a family history increases the chances of my symptoms being caused by bowel cancer. My grandfather, great aunt, great uncle, uncle and one aunt have all had bowel cancer. Three of them were under 50 when diagnosed. Just how significant is this history?

Lowing my mind

I'm 46 my uncle had bowel cancer at 55. Weird thing is I still have energy, I run most days. Just feel like I need some optimism as I'm losing mind with worry.

High fit test and now visible bleeding

The GP seems quite convinced it’s Bowel Cancer and I asked about the possibility of it being polyps. She’s not convinced. I’m now booked in for a colonoscopy on Thursday. I’ve started to get quite bad upper abdomen pain and feel like I’m bloated all the time in this last week.

Any advice or help please

hello, My mum did a bowel screening test in January and her result came back positive, she then had a colonoscopy on the 14th February where they diagnosed her with bowel cancer. They found a malignant stenosing colonic tumour and 5mm polyp. The polyp was removed and not cancerous.

New blood test on the way

Blood test for picking up bowel cancer! Let's hope it's being used before my next colonoscopy in 3 years :) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-61490061

Bowel Cancer.

I know before I get any results I have Bowel Cancer. I have all the symptoms. I am so depressed. If I have a blockage, I wonder what they can do about it.

What tests to ask for 94 year old

GP pretty sure it's bowel cancer. Does anyone know if a scan can tell anything ? I appreciate she's had a long life but hate the thought of her suffering. I don't know what to expect if it is bowel cancer. Sorry for long post just looking for advice or information. Thank you

Ageism

Basically it seems that once you are 75 or above in terms of bowel cancer you are written off by the NHS ..... oh well that's fine but the problem is I'm not ready to die."

Terrified of cancer not being taken seriously!

She’s basically written me off because I’m 18 and statistically not as likely to get bowel cancer. I understand that, but with my major health anxiety, since the appointment I’ve felt so sick and my stomach feels abnormal like I’m hungry almost but know I’m not.

Colonoscopy yesterday

I'm 54 years old and had my colonoscopy yesterday when I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. I had my CT scan today and waiting to find out if it has spread. My biggest fear is needing a stoma bad after surgery. Help, I'm panicking!
