  • Hi, I'm awaiting a diagnosis for bowel cancer, I backed out of a colonoscopy and gastroscopy early Jan as I thought the whole experience was traumatic, I feel in despair now as I've since had a CT scan and MRI scan, found a nodual in my liver and adrenal gland, I just don't know what to think I'm going out of my mind with worry, since booked another endoscopy as I need to know one way or the other dreading it tbh.

  • Hi there 

    bless you I nearly backed out of the colonoscopy and was made to go by my partner so glad I went , as it wasn't as bad as I thought . What symptoms do you have ? 
    have you been told you have bowel cancer ? 
    The staff at the hospital are so patient you will be fine . Why are you having an endoscopy when you have had CT and MRI can you not just have a colonoscopy? 
     

    take care

  • Hi Amanda,

    Thanks for your reply, I have to have an endoscope as they want to take a biopsy as I lost alot of weight, it all started last year with terrific pain in my lower back other than that I felt well at the time but went to docs to check it out as my legs was so weak, they did tests and found I was bleeding from my back passage. Since then I got worse pain in groin back can't breath well pain in chest but some days I feel better than others. Is this cancer ? I haven't a clue which is mainly the reason I joined this chat I just want answers as I feel I'm going mad with worry.
