Female 26, referred 2WW colonoscopy appointment.
Hi MoralShift and a warm welcome to the board. I know it’s hard but try to focus on the facts and not the what ifs? Yes you have had a positive fit test and blood on the toilet paper but this does not mean it’s bowel cancer - the main thing is to get yourself checked out.
Only 1 in 10 colonoscopies results in a bowel cancer diagnosis and there are several conditions that may be causing the blood such as diverticulitis, crohns, ibs, colitis etc.
Please stay away from google and have a chat to the support desk tomorrow?
Take care
