Colonoscopy results

My husband had a colonoscopy on Monday under the fast track system.  Blood had been found in his poo sample and he has also had various blood tests and he is anaemic also.  The rest of the blood tests were clear.

they have found a cancerous tumour in his colon and he is booked for a ct scan on Monday and biopsies have been sent of polyps they also found.  

talking to people whoI’ve had and survived bowel cancer - they didn’t need a ct scan - does this mean the cancer has spread?

Much appreciate any advice - I’m really worried

  • Hi I see you posted this in Ask the nurses ,the nurses won't be back until Monday but hopefully others will see your post and be able to answer your question about CT scan ,I would have thought it would be the normal procedure to have a scan after they found a tumour so that they can see what's going on ,I'm sure I've heard of others having CT  scan afterwards .

  • Thank you Jenny that’s reassuring.  Where should I have posted?

  • I would post it in  Pre-Diagnosis Signs and Symptoms but leave the post in Ask the nurses as they will see it on Monday ,in the mean time read the newest posts the  one that says Positive Fit test and Colonoscopy results and at the bottom of the conversation you can join in by asking your question in there ,they're lovely people all with problems concerning colonoscopies Fit tests CT scans etc ,I've written on there because I had a positive fit test last year ,that post has a lot of comments which might be interesting to you if you can't find it just let me know x
