Welcome to the forum Davier67 although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.

Waiting for news is always tough as many of our members here have found out but I'm sure some of them will be along soon to offer you their support and advice on how to manage during this time.

I hope this information I've found will prove useful as well.

Fingers crossed all goes well with your telephone consultation.

Kind regards,

Hello Davier67,

                    l understand your concerns over the time spent waiting ,its never easy and never will be.l think the time is needed to to get all the test results back and to work out the problem and/or the next course of action.l am not quite so sure on your reference to bad news ,since at this stage it could equally be good news in the sense that it may not be the one of the  scenario's  that are invading your mind at present.The bowel being inflamed is not confined to only being an indicator of cancer,it can point to a number of more common causes,neither is it a surprise since you obviously had issues that led to an internal examination.

                                                You cannot prejudge what the findings will be,neither can you change them,but the good news is that your problem is being dealt with in a thoroughly professional way,which is more preferable than a rushed into poor and incorrect diagnosis.It sounds like you are rushing about in your mind,when the reality is that when you are facing a potential danger,the best approach is a steady considered walk.Loading yourself with stress over an unknown will never be your best course of action,so if you are able to step off your rushing treadmill for a while,this will be of greater benefit than anything else l can think of.

                                                                           l hope the findings will come back better than you currently anticipate and the subsequent treatment will have a positive effect,
