Cancer anxiety - hysteroscopy, colonoscopy and colposcopy, u

I read this chat a lot during last years and promused myself i will give an update once my colonoscopy is done. Here it is.

I am a hypochondriac and really struggle with thought of cancer. 

I currently just finished second lot of hysteroscopy, colposcopy, colonoscopy rounds in 2 years which found nothing. 

Th reason i was going through this procedures was abnormal vaginal bleeding and postcoital bleeding for hysteroscopy/colposcopy and rectal bleeding, bowel change, mucus for colonoscopy.

I did these procedures without anaesthetic and they were fine.

I am writing this to tell people who worry and read google about their symptoms : it doesnt mean its cancer at all, stop googling, wait for your test, its the only thing that can give you answers. 

  • Thanks for this message :)

     

    I am due for an urgent colonoscopy next week and worried sick.

    The reason for my colonoscopy is, i think, the same as yours only also with rumbling bowels and a nagging pain for the last 7 months with also cramping the last 3 weeks.

     

    I am trying to stay away from dr. google, but sometimes i just can help myself.

  • Hey Dutchie, i was exactly same. I spent so much time on Internet researching peoples experiences and symptoms. Only this morning i was looking at all tge people who could not go through with colonoscopy because of pain... And i felt nothing... I was convinced bleeding, mucus and diarrhoea i had is big c... And again nothing....
