That's an awful lot going on at a difficult time - between Easter and the Games everyone is out of town!! I know it must be terribly frustrating but you know that Googling will definitely add to your anxiety and will not definitely give you information relevant to your circumstances. Lots of bowel tests come back positive - I had one just after bc diagnosis and of course feared the worst. I had a benign small polyp. That will do it. So can piles. 5 years on, still good. I had one bout of what was called mild diverticulitis about 8 years ago (if that was mild, I don't want serious). Nurse attending remarked it was me and most of the western world over 50.

You are of course right to get it all checked out as soon as possible but deep breathing and reminding yourself that stress helps nothing may have to do for a while. Very best wishes, hope all your tests relieve your anxiety.
