Hello Dave, and first of all, so sorry for what you are going through.  The waiting is very hard isn't it?  And no matter what anyone says to you, your mind will be all over the place, thinking all kinds of things.  However, once you get your treatment plan, you can begin the first steps of fighting this monster.  There is no point in telling you not to worry  because it is entirely natural for you and your family to be worried.  My thoughts and prayers are with you Dave, and please keep us informed of how you are doing. 

Thank you.

You're welcome,

Hi Dave, unfortunately due to staff shortages making waiting times much longer nowadays, it affects many people.. I have just accepted a telephone consultation from my Colorectal consultant to be given my colonoscopy results...which was done in December 2024... if I had chosen to wait for a face-to-face appt it could be a further 10 weeks.. this situation has been ongoing since Oct 2023, I need answers,  as you do..

Stay strong..

Hi. I’m sorry you’re having to wait so long. It does seem very random depending on where you live or staffing levels, but I hope you get good results and manage to stay as positive as you can! 
I took a call just an hour ago and have a 2nd colonoscopy being done a week today and I think I’ve been quite fortunate with regard to waiting times so far. Trying hard to remain positive and strong and I hope you are too! Keep smiling!..

Thanku for your reply Dave, 20 week wait is standard time for colonoscopy results here in Scotland...glad you have been given a date for your repeat colonoscopy,  hope all goes well next week for yo .. staying positive is essential for us all ️
