  • In this video Dr O'Donovan explains 6 potential signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, including unexplained significant weight loss, blood in the poo, a mass in the abdomen, rectum or anus, a change in bowel habit and more.
    It's important to know that many people with these symptoms don't have bowel cancer. Other health problems can cause similar symptoms. But if you have any of these, or if things just don't feel right, go to see your GP.
    Knowing the symptoms and acting on them as quickly as possible could mean that if you do have bowel cancer, it may be diagnosed earlier when it's much easier to treat. People whose cancer is diagnosed at an early stage have a much higher chance of successful treatment than those whose cancer has become more widespread.
    Also please don't be embarrassed and don't ignore any symptoms. Doctors are used to seeing lots of people with bowel problems and it is something we deal with all of the time. We will do our very best to help you get the right tests and investigations you need if these are indicated.

    I'm having my Bowel cancer operation on Thursday 22nd June in Sunderland.
    If it were not for one of these videos I would have not got myself checked out.
    Thank you so much. The Staff at Sunderland and Freemans Hospital have been nothing more than Brilliant.
    Feeling a little apprehensive as to the operation but I know I'll be in the best of care :)

I am SO glad that you got checked out and you are being seen by some of the best surgeons and teams in the UK (although I used to work both Sunderland and at the Freeman so I am slightly biased!). I wish you the very best for your operation and recovery. Warmly, James.

I had complications for my colonoscopy which usually only takes 15-20 minutes on average - I was in there for 45 minutes. Been on a waiting list for the gastroenterologist since February and I’m category 1 which are usually seen within 30 days. It can be so stressful.

    Went to doctors and hospital over say 10year period, blood in poo, possible hernia or rupture or tear, even saw tear in opening. Lumps in opening, completely ignored by doctors and hospital, they never do anything accept say scan and then treat. Now I'm completely bunged up for 4days now because of new medication and cold water. An it's summer! Am totally over this life, was in hospital waiting room and started having chest pains. Got checked. But then when got on bed they accuse me in the report of making up the chest pain, wtf? And then the day before the doctors dismissed my shoulder pain as nothing wrong. Yet have had this shoulder problem since 1997, 😕 😪

    I am 38 and have been having pain in my left hand side of my abdominal area for 2 years now and have been back and forth to the doctors with this. I had a ct scan last year that they said was all fine but yet the pain was still there. Yesterday I went to the doctors again as the pain is still there and getting worse especially when going for a number two. So the doctor had a feel of my abdomen that was quite sore while being done and she has said she can feel a lump/ swelling where I'm getting most of the pain so she has referred me for a scan to see what is going on. To say I'm worried is an understatement right now.

    I believe many health plans will actually pay for the whole screening, with no copay. It is just that important to them, and I am sure that their actuaries have calculated the risk of having to pay for cancer treatments vs colonoscopies.

Everyone thinks I look 24 so doctors NEVER take me serious. I never go to the hospital but when I did at 28 and 30 for hemorrhoids so painful I couldn’t stop screaming or sit down the doctor just brushed me off. No medication for pain, suppositories or enemas was prescribed. Idk what to do now because it’s like they don’t believe I’m in pain.

    I have recently had the FIT test and an Abdo' scan and Testes scan, for mild ongoing Abdo discomfort. The doctor wants me to have a Colonoscopy, but I am scared and do not think my symptoms warrant it and all my tests were negative. I had a Virus last November and also got Uveitis which is not totally gone. I wonder if that caused me lasting symptoms. The only symptom which may be bowel cancer is being tired all the time, but I have put that down to ongoing depression. I have no colon cancer symptoms, no blood no mucus, no change in bowel habits and no weight loss. (quite the opposite) Ten blood samples show no abnormalities. Not sure what else it could be. A mystery !

She has lumps also in her neck, on the sternum area and upper arms. We need to know what it could be.

      Maybe get her ovaries checked. I just had one of mine removed because it was wrapped in a Dermoid cyst 11cm I only knew because I had torsion (twisted tube, so was a Emergency surgery) but some women have a large cyst without any torsion and it can grow very large making a woman look pregnant. Because not all cysts burst or go away. They found mine with a transvaginal ultrasound, they check the size of the ovaries. And did a CA-125 blood test to make sure the health of them. May not be it but might help to check 🙌

    My father is a bowel cancer survivor. He never had bleeding, he started of with stomach pain and every time he would eat and eventually even have a drink he would be in pain and farting was the only thing that gave him relief from the pain. He had a big belly but he was an overweight man anyway. We had an 18 month wait before he could have a colonoscopy and when he had the test we found he did have cancer, but unfortunately because of the wating list, it had spread quite badly. He had to have either his large or small intestine removed completely. They didn't give him chemo cause they said they removed all. Well next check it was back again. Hes had cancer 3 times now.

    So I have blood, but only when I poop and I am pretty sure I have hemorrhoids because the blood only shows up when it hurts and I can feel like there is a hemorrhoid. It isn’t constant, and is bright red vs “tar like” poop often described online.
    I also have bad anxiety, last month we went through a miscarriage and went gluten free at the same time. Now my poops are softer, but I have been experiencing shortness of breath, light headedness, panic attacks, dry mouth on top of everything for the last week and a half and I can’t tell if I am going through a season of anxiety with hemorrhoids, or if I am experiencing symptoms of cancer?

It really did turn out to just be hemorrhoids and withdrawal anxiety@@FunnyChess-iv9xm

      Hey don't give up..keep doctor shopping . Did u do a full blood lab..checking vitamin levels thyroid and such. Also don't strain too much on toilet that can cause the leg to get pain from the muscle forcing. It only happen to me once. If u can try to live healthy life I'm preying u do get better. Also another wierd questions. Have u had any minor surgeries like root canel or anything else during the time u started experiencing thing's.. if ur gutt keeps screaming at u don't ignore it but don't over react too since we can do that to ourselves. If ur male I'm hoping the protate checked u already.

    My mother is having a camera check on her for the intestine recommended by the doctor she has symptoms of her stomach getting inflated when she eats barely something even if it’s just a piece of fruit it gets her stomach full and she has seen a change when she goes to the restroom, little balls only and some fatigue, no blood or cramps hopefully it’s nothing serious 🥲
