Hello [@Octopus99]‍ 

May I ask which other methods of checking the bowel there may be? My mother had surgery for colon cancer about 4 months ago.

After she got through that we all started to calm down a little bit until we were suddenly told they haven't been able to check the bowel to ensure there's no more cancer there. It was petrifying and now we have to wait until two months after she finishes her six month course of chemo tablets until she can have another colonoscopy to check the bowel. 
We are all so worried and it's such a long time to wait. Tbh 

the nhs has been awful (we had to fight and fight every step of the way and even had to do all diagnostics privately bcos they would not do anything). 
Do you maybe know of any other tests to check her bowel that could be used instead of another colonoscopy, which will take another 4 months or so....

Thank you
