As per title,
Both my Mum (in her 70s) and DD (late 20s) have been unwell with stomach issues and both had FIT screening and both come back positive, so both on the two week pathway.
Mum has a few health problems and quietly suspects she has bowel cancer as her other conditions make it somewhat more likely.
DD does not, but she had a period a year or so ago when she had severe bowel problems and has also had unexpected menstrual bleeding..which may or not be conencted.
DS2 has Ulcerative Colitis.. not sure if that makes it more likely his sister might too?
Someone give me some less worrying possibilities than both my Mum and child having bowel cancer!

Was ds2 diagnosed early, teens or before? It is somewhat genetic and more so with early presentation. Fit test could mean lots of things, it really means blood in the stool, so it needs to be followed up, but not necessarily bowel cancer.

I’d be wondering about endometriosis for your DD?
