Hi,
I've been having difficulties since March with constipation and then the opposite, with rectal bleed, lower stomach pain, anal pain and hemorrhoids. A FIT test has just come back positive with a result of 400. I've been referred on a 2 week suspected cancer pathway and feel scared of the outcome. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar and what I am to expect.
TIA x
Hi Tipi4a1dcd and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and although I've not had the same symptoms and tests as you, I have a good idea how scared you're probably feeling right now.
The online community is divided into different support groups and I think, from what you've written, that you're on the cancer pathway for suspected bowel cancer. If this is right I'm going to recommend that you join the bowel cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who will have been through, or are going through, what you are currently experiencing.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
If I've got this wrong, please accept my apologies, and if you let me know what type of cancer is suspected I can direct you to the right group. Alternatively you can look through this list.
Wishing you all the best
