Hi, I suffer from horrendous health anxiety and have just turned 50 so am expecting my bowel screening kit very soon. I've been reading on forums about the test and have read so many posts of people that had negative fobt's but have gone on to be diagnosed with bowel cancer. This is terrifying the life out of me, to think that I could dutifully hand in my test every 2 years and still end up with bowel cancer, which is one of my biggest fears and obsessions.
Can anyone help me rationalise please, my anxiety is so high at the moment.
