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, 

    Following my colonoscopy, I had a CT scan and MRI scan. I think it was to get an idea on the size. It hadn’t spread though. I then had an op and am currently having chemo. It all happened very quickly. I hope this helps, I know that I just wanted answers when I was where your husband is now. I googled everything! Everything started in April this year and I’m nearly at the end of my chemo. It’s been a whirlwind of a year but maybe that’s a good thing? I hope everything goes as well as possible for your husband and that the hospital are great. Try not to fret too much, I know how difficult that is though! Best of luck. 

  • Thank you.  I know what you mean about googling everything!!!

    glad to hear all going well for you.

    my husband had the scan today so just awaiting the next stage.

    take care
