Yes there are many reasons to be hopeful as you probably know its much more likely to be something other than cancer ,Ive just had a colonoscopy because of a fit test of 51 and it is scary when they put you on the 2 week suspected cancer pathway but I was told its the quickest way to get you seen otherwise you'd be waiting a very long time to be seen on the not urgent last ,mine turned out to be Diverticulitis too ,the good thing is you are going to be seen quite quickly and they will tell you on the day if they find anything worrying .

Oh thank you. Friday the 13th really got me eh. I know it's serious but hopefully they won't call me until after Christmas. I never realised they tell you on the day.

Yes I've been twice now and both times I got told nothing to worry about ,the nurse told me if they see anything sinister they have to tell you .

Glad for you, so worried at this point 

Hi there's always reasons to be hopefull ,u know it's hard but there is do much that can also be done,if anything to worry about they will tell you there and then.i had fit test of 168 they found cancer a 6cm tumour was told after colonoscopy and at 43 years old I was petrified I felt like my world was ending,I had bowel resection 5 weeks ago and just Been told no lymph node involvement so no further treatment just regular appointments,there is so much that can be done and also alot of other things it could be.just trust your in right hands hope everything goes well

Thanks  I'm glad you are doing well
