After going to the Dr because my IBS was going off the scale, I kept getting weird stomachs and terrible trapped wind and pain.
I had blood tests and a stool sample done. Blood tests fine, but there was a mix up over stool samples and I had two tested, done 24 hours apart.
First one came back fine, however Dr has phoned me to say the second one is the polar opposite and she can’t even work out how!
I’ve had to do another one, which looks the same as the second one I did (pretty mucusy) and I’m giving it in tomorrow for testing.
That will be the deciding test.
I’m so scared. I’ve already had cancer before (breast) and I’ve always had bowel troubles, but I don’t have symptoms of Crohns
The Dr said last week to stop using fybogel which she felt was irritating my bowel, which I’ve done, and the pain and wind has near enough disappeared, but now I’m terrified it’s cancer.
I had a clear colonoscopy 3 years ago which the Dr said is good, and my bloods are fine, which is also good, but this sample doesn’t look great, so now I’m stressed it’s going to be something.
I have to have a colonoscopy if it’s a rubbish result again.
I already have terrible anxiety from having had cancer so you can imagine how I am right now.
