Colonoscopy worry

Hi I was referred on a 2ww as I had a calprotectin that came back raised and a positive fit test! I had one night of left lower sided intermittent pain, haven't really had since that was in February! Had the poo tests and blood test! Raised wbc and neutrophils, ca125 negaitive and some others he done all ok! 
I've been of work as I work in healthcare and can't face patients atm.

I've had 5 days of low fibre diet and 2 senekot each night, tonight I take my first movi prep (dreading it) and tomorrow another litre then appointment is 1.30 tomorrow I've opted for sedation as I'm so worried but now more so of what they find the c word! 
that obviously is the biggest fear along with the colonoscopy! 
I to keep googling and my husband gets angry as I'm practically writing out my will ‍♀️ 
it is encouraging to hear the prep is mostly the horrible bit but it don't stop my anxiety going through the roof. 
thank you to everyone that tells their encouraging stories so appreciated xx

 

  • Hi Mrslo and welcome to the Cancer Chat community.

    I'm so glad the experiences you came across on the forum helped you prepare for your colonoscopy and feel a little bit more at ease about the procedure.

    I do hope everything went o.k yesterday and your recovery is going well but if you have any questions or would just like to talk things through with one of our nurses at some point, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully you'll hear back from some of our members soon but in the meantime, we're wishing you all the best with your results.

    Kind regards,
