Hello,
My name is Louise, I am 33 and absolutely terrified.
I have had problems with my bowels for almost 12 months, was hospitalised in March with food poisoning. After another round of loose stools I went back to my GP who ordered bloods, which came back I have an iron deficiency and 4 lots of stool tests, they all came back negative apart from the FIT test. When I go the toilet I don’t see any blood but my GP said I am bleeding from somewhere as my bloods show the iron deficiency. I have been put on the pathway and I so scared it’s cancer.
I know all the facts that like 10% of colonoscopies result in cancer and there are loads of other possibilities but I can’t eat and I can’t sleep. I have had to take time off sick from my job to try and process it all. I don’t know if I should go back to my GP and tell them I am physically making myself sick with worry just waiting for my appointment to come through.
I don’t know how to deal with this all I can’t seem to push it to the back of my mind no matter how many people tell me don’t worry.
please help me.
thanks
