Hi all, I have had ongoing symptoms for around 3 years or more, bouts of diarrhoea and constipation but now getting mainly diarrhoea days with the odd 'rabbit dropping' day. I started not to go out as once the pain came I needed the bathroom. it got to the point where I was for 3 weeks continuously going to the bathroom. I lost 8 lb but wasn't eating , cold sores were coming up around my mouth and nose I was just so drained. Finally gave into ringing gp who sent in a stool sample as she suspected an infection then. It came back clear and marked ' no further action' 2 days later I asked for a phone consultation and spoke to a different doctor who said it needed investigating....this was Thursday 29th July, by the 31st I had a qfit test sent out, I returned it on Monday 2nd of August. Tuesday 3rd I recieved a call saying I had a phone consultation on the 5th with a specialist and he rang today with the news that I was 95% likely to have colorectal cancer. Now waiting on ct scan and colonoscopy to confirm this. Not entirely shocked but holding on to that 5% that he might be wrong.
