Hi
I have my first Gastro appointment tomorrow and probably a colonoscopy after that...I am really scared to the point my mind is throwing a blank as I am convinced I have bowel cancer....
I really do not know which way to turn anymore...I get married in less than 6 weeks and cant even concentrate on that at the moment....
I have severe HA now and previous......
Please help me try get through this?
Hi glad I found your post. I am dealing with a similar situation. I will soon be seeing a doctor for my stomach which will probably lead to a colonoscopy. I have BAD anxiety over it. I have also dealt with anxiety but even since I have been having trouble with my stomach and my bowel movements it has been 10 times worse.. It has consumed me. I get so dizzy from it and my head is constantly spinning in a circle over it.. I have convinced myself that so many things are wrong with me and my stomach it is unreal.. Can you please explain why you feel as if you have colon cancer? You are not alone trust me.. I feel one little thing in my stomach even when its not pain I am freaking out and its destroying me..
Hi
Thanks for your message! About 8 weeks ago or longer i experienced a change in movements. Ever since then im convinced i have colon cancer. Ive lost weight but i have reduced my calorie intake which im hoping is the cause but its first like cow dung then small stools then its normal but not very often and im just so scared its awful.
Im only 35 i dont want to die just yet.
What about you?
Well for me it all started with the doctor telling me im constipated.. That really freaked me out for some reason. Then after that I was taking medicine and it helped a little but then I was again told that I was still constipated bascailly they told me i was full of poop still. So back to more meds. Then at one point i had blood coming out of my butt which completely made me and my nerves shut down. I felt numb and so scared. Some days I go normal and other days its not normal. I have a hard time even with gas. Its like it doesn't want to leave my body. I have been taking probiotics and metamucil and it seems to be working a bit but I still freak out and feel as if my body isn't going back to normal. Even when I have the urge to go my body locks up and im literally shaking cause I never know what to expect. Sometimes when I feel the need to go i actually don't have to and ill sit and strain and then I get awful pains which freaks me out even more. I am only 20 years old and it seriously scares me. This has consumed me and its all I can focus on. I also have lost weight which I cant afford but I only eat a little bit cause what goes in has to come out.. Yet another scary thought.
Hi
Sorry for the late reply.
I went to the GI yesterday and he believes that I could have picked up an infection and I now have post infectious IBS....not really buying that story if I am honest BUT I still have the colonoscopy now on Oct 5th, he said he is adamant he will not find anything.
Your age....20......VERY VERY UNLIKELY you have CC...really!
I cannot cope anymore
How do I take you people
