Ct colonoscopy results

I've had to chase to get my ct colonoscopy results after nearly 5 weeks of jot hearing anything .

The results that the gp managed to find out is that I've got 2 or 3 prominent lymph nodes in the bowel, she couldn't tell me much more.

The consultant letter said no evidence of malignancy but there is some slight thickening of the sidmoid colon.

I'm booked for a flexible sigmoidoscopy and an xray/scan but the xray department can tell me what it is because they say its not booked  !!

I'm obviously really frightened now as I don't understand any of this ? 

Does it sound like bowel cancer ? 

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    I can appreciate that you are anxious and want to know more about your current situation.

    Unfortunately, as nurses, we are not able to suggest what these findings mean, or give you a medical opinion. Your doctor will want to do any tests or investigations that will provide further details, and then enable them to make a correct diagnosis. So do try and keep an open mind, and keep yourself busy and occupied at this time. 

    And bear in mind, that should it be bowel cancer, (and that may or may not be a possibility), that it is curable when treated at an early stage.

    I hope that you get to find out more soon.

    Wishing you the best,

    Vanda
