I started feeling very ill in October with nausea and extreme diarrhoea. Which then turned to severe abdominal pain a terrible change in bowel habits where I cannot go for nearly a week then cannot get off loo when I do. Having problems eating and lost quite a lot of weight . Dr tested for most things came back relatively normal until I was asked to do a FIT test then my doctor phoned me and said I needed to come up the same day for a follow up. He said my results were back and alarming as blood was found and that I far exceeded the threshold for rapid referral cancer pathway.
Im really worried and I know that my symptoms could be attributed to many other issues but this came as a shock. I’m waiting for my appointment and really dredding it to be fair.
I told my employer I had a referral and immediately got told I have nothing to worry about it’s nothing despite me still struggling with my energy levels nausea and abdominal discomfort
