Hello, I'm new here.
I have been getting pelvic pain on the left side and a change in bowel movements for about 6 months so I recently saw my GP and she did blood tests that have come back with severe anaemia. Due to this, I had to do the FIT sample and it's come back as positive today.
She's referred me for a colonoscopy on the 2ww pathway referral.
Not sure why I'm posting really, I'm just so worried and can't help but think the worst.
My mums side of the family has a lot of bowel cancer in it and all of them were in their 40s when diagnosed. I'm 47
The doctor said it could be other things aside from bowel cancer but I have this overwhelming fear that I already know it's going to be that.
Just looking for support and to talk to others who have been in my situation.
Thank you everyone
