Terrified of a normal result!

Hi. I recently had a Colonoscopy. Some blood in stools and very bad bowel movements. Diet is rubbish!!

After Colonoscopy they gave me a report of 4 polyps found (not huge) and said I had start of diverticulitis (score 0).. They told me everything was OK and would send polyps away to the lab. 2 weeks later I got an URGENT appointment for a CT scan (abdomen and pelvis).

I am not losing weight (if anything gaining) but very extended belly put down to weight. Recent bilateral open hernia surgery.

I am terrified as I have SOME of the symptoms of cancer but they are conflicting. I am constantly tired but put that down to lack of sleep. I have Complex PTSD, stressed and depressed and constant nightmares..

Finally, I was adopted. My REAL mother did died of bowel cancer. I am not absolutely sure but my Grandad (who I am 99% sure was actually my REAL father) also died of bowel cancer.

I am just praying that they are suspecting something but the result will be negative.

Any suggestions would be very welcome. BTW CT scan is tomorrow (Thursday).

  • Hi  Good luck for tomorrow. Like  has said I would have thought they would have said something if they knew, so fingers crossed they are just ruling things out. When they are doing tests and you have no answers it is a worrying time, I remember when I was going through it, just try (and I know it's hard ) To keep busy with things you enjoy. Xx
