Colon capsule - any advice with the bowel prep?

I have to have a colon capsule, I am scared of what they might find, any tips on the bowel prep? I had prostate cancer 5 years ago so I know what to expect, tests, waiting, tests, waiting, I don't know if I can go through it all again.

  • Hello farfar, 

    Best of luck for your colon capsule endoscopy. I thought I would share with you our information on the colon capsule endoscopy  which I hope will give you some useful tips on how to prepare for your appointment. Feel free also to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 if you would like to ask them anything about the preparation or if you have any questions that spring to your mind. Their helpline is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that you will also hear from others who have been through all this before and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you.

    Best wishes and best of luck for your test. I hope everything goes well and it all turns out to be fine!
