Back in October, I began having diarrhea, rectal bleeding and abdominal pain but having had a baby in June, I brushed it off as just my body still being weird and getting back to normal. About a month later, the pain had been getting progressively worse but got horrifically bad one night. After consulting 111, I went to A&E where they said it was appendicitis and they removed my appendix (which they said was not visibly inflamed). I was discharged even though all my symptoms had continued.

In February I had tonsilitis (which I happen to get a lot) and so they did a blood test to check for glandular fever. The test came back negative but did show I was anaemic with low vitamin D and low iron. 

I tried to contact my GP a few times during lockdown but couldn't make contact. Eventually, I managed to get a phone interview with a different GP. That GP said that I'd had a test back showing I had haemochromatosis (no one told me?!), that my ultrasound scan at the hospital had shown some liver damage (no one told me?!), that I was anaemic at the hospital (no one told me until February when I was tested by chance?!), that I had low liver function on my blood tests (no one told me?!) and I had a hernia (no one told me this either?!). 

Because both my dad and granddad had bowel cancer, this GP said I should do a faecal calprotectin test to check for blood in my stool. I could physically see the blood on the stool sample - I bleed a lot. I phoned this morning for my results and was told that the test was negative so they aren't taking this any further. 

I don't know what to do. There's obviously something wrong with me but the doctors just seem to not care at all. How is it possible that they determined I have liver damage (I don't drink, don't take drugs, don't even drink coffee, not obese), have a hernia, have haemochromotosis and low liver function but they don't think any of this needs treating? Am I being crazy to think that because of my family history I have bowel cancer?

Apologies if I sound like one of those crazy cancer nuts who use too much google and too little sense but I just don't see how my symptoms can be nothing.
