Hi
I have had stomach pain on and off for around 2/3 years now I have been to my doctor and hospital countless times and not got anywhere, they first thought it was my appendix but after bloods and ultrasound they said it’s not my appendix. So went back to my doctor who said it could be ibs so started medication for ibs and a diet plan when that didn’t work they tryed other medication and diet plans but all failed so they told me to go to hospital when I have pain and yet again went to hospital a few times it was always the same thing my appendix. They never did anything for it just sent me home and told me to go back if it gets worse or comes back.
After about 2 years of messing around with hospitals and doctors k gave up.
my symptoms changed about 6 months ago I was having constant pain also a change in bowel habits one time it was loose then normal and going to the toilet more often 6/7 times a day when I normally went 1 time a day. I noticed blood in my stool and I wasn’t eating much as I didn’t feel like eating I had bloating. Again went to my gp who wasn’t bothered about it all and said monitor it and if it’s no better in a few weeks time come back. So I waited nothing changed and about 2/3 months later I went back as I was bleeding a lot and was feeling dizzy and lightheaded. Saw a doctor who said she wasn’t consented about it and it’s normal apparently so I left it then about 5 weeks ago I went and talked about what I thought it would be (bowel cancer as I had all the symptoms) I was told I’m too ypung to get cancer as I’m 27 and if I had cancer I would be very ill so I argued back and said I’m not too young to get cancer yes it might be unlikely but no one is too young and as for me been I’ll cancer affects everyone differently I told them my grandma has terminal cancer and shes had chemo and radio therapy and she looks fine she wouldn’t do anything so the next day I rang and spoke to a doctor and demanded they do a fit test just to put my mind at rest the doctor said yes definitely we need to do one and the doctor who saw you yesterday should have done one. I did it and it came back at over 400 so I was referred to hospital under the 2week wait and had a colonoscopy done a few days later they took 10 biopsy’s and pictures I was told that the results should be back no later than 10 days after I rang my doctor all last week to ask for my results only to be told they weren’t back yet. I rang on Friday and they said yes there back they were back last week so I had a appointment only to be told they weren’t back I told the doctor that the receptionist told me they were and they were back last week she showed me the screen and said there’s nothing back only the colonoscopy report which I have got. She went mad with the receptionist she called her to her room and stood out side and had a right go at her. I have been told that they should be back next week so hopefully they will be back soon so I know what’s going on and the next steps.
thank you for reading this.
