Hi

I am currently in pain on my left side and have been for 5 months .

I have had a postive fit test and two negative calopractin tests

I am due a colonoscopy but just wonder do they tell u on the day or do u have to wait .

Thanks

Hi, I was diagnosed on the day of my colonoscopy. They took a load of biopsies tattooed the offending area and then I was scheduled for surgery but they could visually give me a diagnosis that day Hope your colonocopy proves to be free from cancer. If you have any questions feel free to ask. X

They tattooed the inside of my colon to make it easy to find the area when they went in for the surgery. I had a resection It wasn't something I could feel and it wasn't artistic
