I've but constantly think I have bowel cancer

Anyone else get this? I have ibs was diagnosed a few years ago but still constantly think it's bowel cancer. My left hand side hurts and bowels are a joke! Either can't go or I go as soon as I've eaten. Wish I didn't worry so much sad

My left side hurts like feels bruised just by my hip bone and need the toilet all the time just recently even if I havnt drank or eaten strange 

I'm the same!

Have u had any scans or anything for cancer or do u think anxiety is causing u 2 think this because I no my anxiety really does 

Ibs hurts and i can understand that fear. Have you seen a gastro doc. I think you are suppose to have some tests every few years to make sure it is healthy. They do a colonoscopy and an endoscopy every five years.

I have not seen one no but if carts on I will have to see my go about it does it cause stomach pain or any other pain 

I heard mint oil is good for IBS. Bowel cancer is rare in poor African countries where their diet consists of pulses and beans. Meat is linked with bowel cancer apparently.

If you had cancer there would be blood but you would have to rule out hemorroids.

Bowel cancer is very rare in young people. The NHS screens all people age 60+
