Im 19 and have had mucus and blood in stools, back pain, anal pain, stomach pains (sharp), and pressure feeling in stomach. When I google my symptoms the only thing that really matches is cancer. Getting extremely discouraged. My colonoscopy is scheduled for next monday.

The first thing you do is stop using Google as your doctor. Your just frightening yourself - when did you last see your doctor?

Until you've had the colonoscopy you will not have had a diagnosis - googling will only make you anxious and may cause your symptoms to be worse

There could be so many reasons for your symptoms and although you've honed in on the bad one, there are so many simpler things this could be. I hope all will be well for you. Big healing hug and try not to worry . Make sure you let us know how you get on.

I agree with all the above. Wait to see your specialist. Symptoms can be a number of things so don't build yourself up into a state of anxiety. When you have the results then you can deal with whatever it is, worrying whT it might be will not help but hinder you. Good luck

I had what you have---------

I found out it was Anus Cancer

which is slow growing, please do not panic it will make the pain in stomach worse-------

I left what you had for 2 years

and they did get rid of it.

I know what you mean by Anul pain------- let me who what the result is ----

Hello,

I had very similar symptoms, after visiting the Doctor I was told I had IBS and an anal fissure which was causing the bleeding, which is basically a small tear and was due to constipation etc.

I've often searched things on the net and you do end up causing yourself unnecessary worry, so try not to stress too much till you've had your diagnostic treatment.

Good luck and hope it is all okay.

I know it's easy to say but please try not to worry, it may not be as bad as you think. I have spent hours on the internet looking up all kinds of problems & it's really not a good idea. Try & relax, go for the tests & let us know how you get on. Good luck. :)
