Positive FIT and other symptoms please help

Hi everyone,

 

im just looking for some opinions really as I suffer with health anxiety so going out of my mind with worry. I also have a 1 year old and my partner isn't very well so it's all so very scary! I'm 27 years old too with only one case of cancer in my family which was my great uncle who recently suffered from prostate cancer.


Back in September called the GP as i had been suffering with UTI symptoms. I had a course of antibiotics but noticed symptoms were not subsiding so rang again. The nurse brought me into the surgery, gave me a pelvic examination and refered me for a scan. She also did a FBC and the only things returned raised slightly was white blood cells and immflamation markers. The nurse suspected I had a case of PID. I attended the outpatient hot clinic for Gyni which was fast tracked due to how bad my health anxiety is where I had an internal scan where she was unable to view ovaries which she said is a good sign and the bowl was in front which was no issue (all clear) and an internal examination which was quite tender and consultant advised it was infection nothing to worry about and most definitely nothing nasty. She also confirmed it wasn't really a sign of PID. She also examined my stomach and said it's all very soft and feels as it should be. Consultant said if things where not to settle down to get referred back and look at another treatment etc. Anyway I rang the docotor back to advise no improvement. Along side pelvis pain (almost like period pain), lower back pain, I've had the weirdest stitch pain once or twice in my right side, aching thighs, I've had a weird feeling at the top of my stomach like indigestion and just generally feeling unwell I also sufferd like internal fever symptoms too and am tired quite a lot (very busy life). 
 

I rang the docotor back and explained everything to her in which she give me ANother course of antibiotics and re reffed me to gyni. Again symptoms still persisted. So I rang the Gp once again and explained my concerns etc so she agreed to do my iron levels, stores etc and a stool sample. Much to my misery I received a call 2 days later to say my FIT was positive so of course my healthy anxiety took over.

 

I have been absolutely terffied, crying, not sleeping it's horrendus. My stools are loose mushy but I can't see any visible blood when I look and no blood on the tissue. This actually infact concerns me more. However what's also bothering me when I sit down I have a discomfort in my bum it only seems to be when I sit down. I know people keep saying it's piles etc but I know piles wouldn't cause the other symptoms and the unwell felling I keep having in and off. My poo is brownish but when I wipe it looks like it's tinged with yellow. 
 

im absolutely going out of my kind with worry. I have a phone consultation with the consultant on Friday but I'm so so scared what they are going to find. My baby is absolutely obsessed with his mummy and I just keep getting so upset.

 

please could anyone advice if they have had anything similar and what the outcomes where?

  • Hi Yolanda,

     

    I am sorry to hear that you are going through so much at the moment. I understand your concerns but try not to worry to much about it. Age is defenitely on your side and from what you describe it doesn't seem to be typical symptoms of cc. Also bear in mind that statistically only 1 out of 10 positive fit tests turn out to be C. Mainly in over 70s. Polyps or other benign issue is more likely the cause at your age.

    All the best
