Hi Sonervous It’s natural to be worried but hopefully you will get an appointment through for a colonoscopy very soon and that will investigate what’s causing your symptoms. There are several things that can cause blood in your poo like ibs, colitis, crohns, diverticulitis etc. and only 1 in 10 colonoscopies results in a bowel cancer diagnosis.

Please let us know how you get on and the support desk number is under my name if you want to chat to someone in person?

Take care
