Sorry in advance, but I think I just need to vent more than anything else...
I started experiencing some weird symptoms about three weeks ago. Nothing that seemed serious- but things that definitely weren't normal for me.
After a couple weeks, I decided to see a specialist and he advised me to get a colonoscopy done ASAP and that a couple of my symptoms were buzz words and red flags for colon cancer.
My procedure is scheduled for next week but I'm scared to death. I'm 32 years old and always assumed I was in good health so this came out of nowhere. The doc indicated they're seeing more and more cases of colon cancer in younger people in their late 20s and early 30s, though it's still very rare.
I understand it's entirely possible that this ends up being a nothing burger... but man, I am beyond stressed out.
Has anyone been through this or something similar? What was your experience like?
I hate having to wait and just sit on this.
