I've been put through fast track colonoscopy because I done a couple of FIT tests ,one came back positive and other negative, Doctor gave me a couple of FIT tests to do because I have been complaining about blood during bowel movements. I've had Piles in the past and I even had surgery for these, but the bleeding never lasted as long and that's why I went to the doctors. He put me through colonoscopy just to make sure the bleeding was not coming from somewhere else. ( I do have an internal pile at the moment)
I spoke to the colonoscopy nurse the next day I was referred , who was lovely and asked me a lot of questions. I had no other syntoms to complain beside bleeding , constipation and itching. been on Laxido for almost two months that has improved massively my constipation and improved my rectal bleeding a lot! It looks like it's gone now.
the nurse said she needed some blood tests , it's been a week since I done the blood tests and almost two weeks since she phoned me. And I still haven't heard anything from them. I was told not to worry as all syntoms I have match with hemorroids and I might need some banding. In fact when she phoned me I was also waiting for a referral to have a wisdom tooth removed who was causing me a lot of problems and she told me to give priority to that- that's sorted now!
my stress levels are through the rough, been told not worry but I just need to get this done, I am panicking it could be something else.
Is it normal waiting this long? I thought fast track was 2 week wait till you have your colonoscopy.
thank you
