2week wait

Could anyone advise please.

my doctor referred me for a colonoscopy as I had symptoms that he decided should be deemed as urgent.

i received a letter to have the procedure but know one is able to do it.

i am scared that I have cancer and obviously early diagnosis is very important but I can't be seen.

any advise please

thanks

  • Hi Chelleh, please try not to be anxious at this time. I did a FIT test middle March and was also referred for urgent colonoscopy...still waiting.
    Called hospital again yesterday and they still don't know when the clinics will be starting up again and are being told to advise 'hopefully within a fortnight' (although I was told this 3 weeks ago). I'm in Scotland so I the situation may be different depending on where you are. Unfortunately this is all outwith our control for now. I am looking into paying to have the scope done privately if possible.
