I'm so sorry about everything you have been through over the last 9 years Gillm. You've had to contend with so much, so it's only natural to be feeling nervous about your colonoscopy.

I can see from your post that you're due to have your colonoscopy today so I just wanted to wish you the very best of luck and let you know we'll be thinking of you.

If there is anything you need or want to discuss with one of our cancer nurses after you've had your colonoscopy, you can contact them on 0808 800 4040. Their helpline is open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all that they can to help.

When you feel up to it, do let us know how you get on. We'll have our fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

Kind regards,

Thank you Steph for your kind words. I've had the colonoscopy this morning- one of the less painful ones and all is good. No real nasties - 2 small harmless polyps ( removed) and my yearly colonocsopy now every 2 years. I'm v happy , would dance if I had the energy lol.

Things look much brighter and consultant says polyp loading has decreased.

That's great news Gillm. I'm so pleased for you.

Do make sure you celebrate with a happy dance once you've recovered, you deserve it.

Look after yourself Gillm and remember that we will always be here for you.

All the best,
