"3 years of daily rectal bleeding"

About: Chorley & South Ribble Hospital / Accident and emergency

111 advised me to attend urgent care due to rectal bleeding, abdominal pain and black stools... 111 advised that the urgent care team would carry out abdominal x rays or other tests as it was an urgent issue....they initially wanted to send an ambulance but I insisted on making my own way...at urgent care, i was advised to see my gp to be referred for a colonoscopy....this will now result in a further 10-12 weeks wait until I have any testing done.....i am still feeling ill and all over the nhs website it claims rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, black stools are an urgent issue and may be serious....however i now feel there is no hope left and no one cares
