hi there, this seems to be the only chat room about for me to ask some quite pertinent questions, hopefully someone will be able to advise me.
first i will let you know that my great gran had bowel cancer and survived she is 86 now, my gran also has it, and diverticulitis and has also a colostromy bag, unfortunately she is now fading away having had 35 operations, it is now beating her she is 66. they are both on my mothers side of the family.
since i got pregnant with my second (now 5 mths old), i had 9 mths of torture through stomach pains and diarehoa for 9 mths only to be told this was just pregnancy for you!
i need to just add that i do have endometriosis
i've now been experiencing extreme pain when i need to go to the loo where i feel like my bowel is being stretched beyond it's limit just to pass wind, i have severe diarehoa the constipation, bad bouts of wind that just roll round my belly, but the worse is to sit on the loo with severe pain worse than contractions! just to acheive the smallest soft stool (not constipation), i dont want to seem to forward but i do have other more peculiar symptoms which i dont really want to shock you with before i found out whether i'm worrying about nothing.
i have also bled too.
if anyone could please enlighten me i would be grateful
i am currently waiting for my colonoscopy and have a laporoscopy booked for 5th sept
many thanks
