Waiting for colonoscopy due to abnormal FIT and calprotectin

Hello all 

Have been having different bowel habits for almost 2 years and have had low iron levels twice in that time(last time discovered recently). The calprotien stool test at that time almost 2 years ago was normal, so thought no more of it. 

Feeling very tired again so saw the doc suspecting iron was low again, which it was. Doc advised doing the stool tests. So I did the FIT and calprotien stool tests  and both have come back abnormal. 

Currently waiting on an urgent colonoscopy and freaking out. 

Anyone have any experience similar to this?  I'm 35 and mum to 2 very young children
