For those of you that had pains before diagnosis what did they feel like? I’m feeling weird pains and niggles in my lower abdomen area, nothing unbearable but it’s a constant reminder of what might be lurking. For me it feels similar to period pains and I’ve actually just finished a period so that was made more painful. I’m just hoping I guess that it’s not cancer but I just have this horrible feeling.
Hi Pink Spark
My pain was in the back mainly. My tumour was in my rectum and I had been having the pains in my lower back for quite a while which I wrongly put down to being muscular and getting old.
I had pains in the front near my hip which were caused by constipation .
I know it's hard but try not to worry.
Hello xx I have pain in my lowe back, and feel like I need to go to the toilet all of the time. Uncomfortable when I’m sitting and sometimes numbness in legs I’m assuming from nerves x
