Hi all
I recently sent to Qfit tests back. I have now had a referral to go for a colonoscopy. I am natually slightly worried. I have had various stomach pains for some time now. Fairly mild to be fair. Mainly featured right side upper stomach to back area. Almost near the liver area. I have had a PSA test and also LFT tests recently too and they came back fine. I also have psoaritic arthrtis which affects all my joints. The upper pain also seems to travel to my hip groin and sometimes down my leg. However i seem to have had groin and hip pain for a long time so I am assuming its linked to my psoaritic arthrtis? Thing is i dont know . I suppose i am just asking what symptms others had of bowel cancer. I have not had any visiible blood in my poo and whilst i had constipitation for a few weeks a while back it seems to have abated. I generally seem to have healthy looking poo too.
Thoughts ?
Thanks
