Extremely worried I may have Bowel cancer

Hi all I am Extremely worried I may have Bowel cancer I have been getting abdominal pain on left side and right side where the bowels for the past 2month also lower back pain which was going into my testicles but the lower back pain and testicle pain turned out to be  a UTI that’s away now which is rare for a 32 year old male, my bowel movements have really changed aswell as in needing to go more 6times and it isn’t normal  poo it’s diarrhea and very soft just isn’t normal I have said to the doctors numerous times about cancer they kept saying to young so was at doctors Wednesday told him I want to be tested as it’s my life that’s laying in your hands so he agrees to do a test stool sample that looks for something also a blood test to can’t remember the name of it but will take longer than a normal blood test to come back , am worried if it is that it’s going to be to late, also sleeping a lot more feel extremely tired 

  • Hello Worriedmar, 

    I am sorry to hear you are so worried about bowel cancer. It's good you have seen the doctor and that they are going to do a stool sample and a blood test. This will be useful for the doctor to then be able to tell you more about what may be causing these symptoms. Don't worry too much though - there are so many different possible explanations and you are now in good hands and hopefully will get some definite answers soon. 

    We are keeping everything tightly crossed for you!

    Best wishes,
