I think I have bowel cancer
I am convinced I have bowel cancer. 4 weeks ago I was rushed to hospital with a pain in my right side. The could not find anything wrong, but only looked at my right side above my waist, as that is where the pain was. I do have a gallstone and have had for years, but advised to have it removed.
I was sent home and went to my doctor the next day and was sent for blood tests and the doc sent an urgent refusal to the hospital for a colostomy.
Then a week later for urgent iron transfusion as its very low.
I got a call from the hospital to get the iron, which I did today.
The hospital rang and told me they will let me know, 6 weeks before mt colposcopy! I could be dead by then.
Anyhow I am going to my doctor to get a referral to have it done private.
I had a change in bowel habits, but did not think much of it as it was easier for me as I had explosive episodes before and they stopped, so I really thought it was normal.
When I went to emergency I had been having trouble for 2 days before the pain, going to the toilet. I only seem to do a little and it was pretty soft. I still have this. I can't go at all without laxatives.
I have pain in my lower groin, sort of to the back. I have had this since the day I went to hospital. Some days it's just an ache, some days I have to take pain killers. Many nights I need to take stronger pain Medes to sleep.
I also have back pain.
I have no appetite, but eat anyhow as I am addicted to food. I have not lost weight, well a couple of kg, but that's not much, but I have stayed the same for weeks, where I thought I should have put on with the constipation and over eating.
I am having increasingly more problems with breathing. I am an asthmatic but normally don't have much problem. I feel more and more bloated. More and more uncomfortable.
I have not noticed any blood in my toilet, because before yesterday, I never looked. I did look because when I whiped it felt slippery as if it might have been blood, but there was nothing I could see.
I feel like I know I have cancer and no one will get moving fast enough. I want them to tell me and get working on it.
So what do you think? Am I right? Have you had this ?
