Hi All,

I am a 24 year old female anxiously waiting on test results over three weeks now with no further update from the hospital.

To give you some context my symptoms started several months ago (heavy bleeding, diarrhoea, lower abdominal/back pain, rectal pain, fatigue etc etc). I went to my doctor and she referred me for a urgent colonoscopy. In the mean time I had two a&e visits, blood tests were taken (all good) and a CT Scan (again all good). I went home with IBS tablets and hemriod cream. 

Over four weeks ago I eventually went for the colonoscopy where polyps (adenomas) apperently a mix between two types (not sure what they were call) was found. These were from what I can remember, about 1cm, 2cm and 2.5cm. Biposys were taken and I was told I would get results in around two weeks. I was also told I would need another scope of stomach etc. I asked if they thought they were cancerious and was told 'I don't want to alam you and say they are not, I also don't want to give you false promises and tell you that they are not. 

Long story short, I have rang the hospital multiple times and my test results are not back and they don't seem to know if I have been scheduled to have the other scope. I feel like I am in limbo. I'm still not feeling great, the bleeding isn't as bad but I'm definitely not feeling 100%. 

I'm not sure if over 3 week to 4 weeks is a normal waiting time. I'm also not really sure if I'm going to have this other scope. Has anyone else waited this long and (I know your not medically trained) but do you think this might be cancer? 

Anyway rant over. 

Thanks in advance for any advice or answers.
