I'm 24 y/o (25 in sept), and was given an urgent referral the Wednesday before last. I have had a mass that I assumed to be a hemmorhoid for 10 years, but in the past 2 years it has increased in size and started bleeding. A year ago I lost 4 stone in 2 months, unintentionally. At the same time I started getting night sweats, and feeling like I need to empty my bowels when they already are. A few months ago when collecting my birth control my blood pressure was so low the nurse couldn't get a reading (it took 3 attempts). I went to my GP originally because I had blood in my urine. Also, my dad had to have polyps removed from his colon about 8 years ago. I'm tired all the time, I have pain in my left lower abdomen, my appetite has vanished recently which is not like me at all. I've been booked in for a colonoscopy on 4th July. Any advice, experiences would be greatly appreciated.
