Hi ,

Sorry to hear of your situation . Definitely something to chat through with your GP .

Have you done a FIT test ? Would help see blood that is not visible to the human eye .

Many causes that are not cancer related can affect bowel movements but it would really take your Gp to investigate them .

You might like to ask for a FIT test though . Either way it can be helpful .

Hi pumpkinzz. Yes the best thing is to have a chat with your GP. It might be helpful to have a look at the leaflet below and maybe keep a record of your symptons for a couple of weeks?
