I have been having abdominal pain for sometime .I have had an endoscopy, ultrasound scan ,CT scan with contrast and apart from gallstones and the latest CT saw a small liver lesion that they said was probably benign .I have had two stool
Tests too for heliobacter and they were all clear.I told the dr I would like a colonoscopy but he was so dismissive and he refused to give me one .

The pain is to the left side and now all over my stomach at times and the consultants registrar that I saw said it was probably my abdominal nerves but I don't think so.I called the GP Yesteray and sent me for a stool test for fecal calprotectin after seeing mucus in my stool .
I have no blood on my stool .I weighed myself yesterday and found myself to be 88kg and I was 'weighing 91 previously .

I have convinced myself I have bowel cancer and I am sick with worry .I just called the gp now to notify about the weight and they have no appointments.can someone advise me .I have 3 very young chikdren and I am worried I am going to die .

@Heyhohey yea I'm not looking forward to the prep it sounds awful from what I've read.

If you wean down the solid foods few days before then the prep isn't so bad Smile Iv had a flexible sigmoidoscopy last year and a x2 colonoscopy last week both were ok 👌🏻
