Hello everyone. My name is Mike, I am 32 years old, and I am having bad anxiety. I usually go to the toilet in the morning when I wake up or within about a half hour or so of waking up. Sometimes I am finding that I go a second time during the day and my mind immediately jumps to colon cancer. This past Saturday this is what I ate...
1) 2 cups of coffee with whole milk and sugar
2) buffalo wings
3) french fries
4) peach sangria
5) Cinnabon
6) Cherry Coke
7) 4 red velvet cookies
8) Dippin Dots Ice Cream
9) 2 glasses of milk
Now I usually don't eat that much junk food in one day. I try to eat healthy most of the time. The next day on Sunday, I had 2 morning cups of coffee and had a BM at my usual time, but several others as well. All I can think about is that it is a change in bowel habits and I have cancer. I have been to my doctor numerous times and he assures me that it is very unlikely that it is cancer. He told me the benefit of a colonoscopy has to outweigh the low risks associated with it and that it is wrong for a doctor to just do a test on a patient just to make them feel better and that thee should always be a reason.
Over the past year and a half, I was told I had a fatty liver. In 2016, leading up to this diagnosis, I had a CT Scan of the abdomen and pelvis which showed a clear bowel with no obstructions or wall thickening. I also had an MRI which can see a lot more and it just confirmed that diagnosis. I also had 3 labs and a digital rectal exam which was negative for blood. I see a Therapist once a week for my fears and everything else going on in my life.
Does anybody else experience this?
Thank you all!!!
