Please no hate as I am very scared colon cancer?

Question

I have been having trouble with bowel movements for 3 weeks despite laxatives they are very soft stools but very hard to push out this morning it was literal water but still hard to push out I'm having a lot of stomach gurgling in my lower abdomen no blood that I have noticed I feel bloated despite being bloated and I have a lot of mucus in the stool as well I do have a colonoscopy scheduled in 2 weeks and I'm very scared to find out the results I'm only 23 and the thought of colon cancer scares me and dont know what I'm going to do if I have it

Even if you have a family history, you are young.  You could have food allergies, or a digestive disorder, unrelated to cancer.  The laxatives likely are contributing to your problems.  See a doctor for a referral if needed, to a specialist.

Far too young. Stop the laxatives they are why you have watery stools and gurgling.
Sounds more like IBS which never killed anyone.

Much more likely to be related to your diet.

I agree, eat your fresh leafy veg and drink water and this will help a lot. Have you been tested from coeliac disease or any of those?

Another thing that will help is putting your feet up on a step so that your knees are higher than your hips when you go to poo. No need to push then, just relax.
