First, you don't think my symptoms relate to colon cancer? From my knowledge, I've only had blood in my stool once and that was over a month ago and it wasn't much at all. As far as I know, it could've been something I ate. Having this left side ache plus everyday life has been stressful for the last month. I'm in constant stress that something is wrong with me and I think it's playing a factor with my symptoms. Honestly, I feel like I'm worsening my symptoms with my worrying. Often times IF I forget about my left side ache, it doesn't bother me at all. Do you think anxiety, overthinking, and stress can cause these symptoms?
