Colonoscopy waiting outcome

Hi ! 

I'm new here, having recenty undergone a Colonoscopy resulting in 8 biopsy being taken. Just wanted to speak with anyone who had this shared experience?   

 

Easier to speak on here then to family- as not wanting to worry them about details at this time x 

  • Hi, 

    I had a colonscopy back in March and I am awaiting a telephone consultation but it's not till August! They mentioned Terminal Ilietus. I havnt had any concerns since, I guess it's just the wait that's bugging me.

    Hope your procedure was painless as a lot of people of mentioned severe discomfort. Try not to worry about it, my results took 6 weeks to come through. 

     

    Thank you. 

    Kind Regards, 

     

    Jemma. 

  • Hi, have you had your results yet?

    ive just had my follow up with the biopsy results. I have distal colitis, I've no idea what that means yet but it sounds fairly manageable so I'm hugely relieved. 

    Hope you're ok and hear back soon 

  • Hi Nellanicole, 

    So pleased for you that must be a huge weight lifted from you ! 

    I was informed by receptionist that pathology results were in ...... but on a follow up with nurse a few days later was told that they were not back yet ! So still outstanding over a month.. ..been asked to wait 6 wks  total. 

    NHS can not chase results as private run company who do the Colonoscopy ( I was unaware of this ) 

    So more bloods showed high inflammation....

    More bloods booked for next Friday to check further and a Scan tomorrow of my neck as lymph nodes increased in size.... Had a smear test too ? 

    Been asked to book to see GP in 3 wks for outcome of all results .....hopfully they are in ?
