Colonoscopy tomorrow- scared what they will find

Hey im looking for some advice please. Really anxious and nervous about my colonoscopy tomorrow. I have already had a flexi sig and they found patchy unceration and acute inflammation but they didnt really say that was what was causing my symptoms. 
I am 30 years old ald and have had blood in stool for around 4 weeks now. Mild abdominal pain, bloating and excessive gas. Im so scared that its cancer.

  • Best of luck. I will say that a year ago I had some similar symptoms to you - rectal bleeding (on the tissue though, no blood in the actual stool), gas and trapped wind, some cramps and on-and-off loose stools. The specialist told me that as I was only 40, I'd be "the unluckiest person in the world" if it turned out to be cancer. 

    It turned out to be hemorrhoids, probably combined with the stress of the whole thing and some coincidences.

  • I had my colonoscopy today and it went a lot better than I thought. Drinking the Moviprep was definitely the worst part about the whole thing. 
     

    Anyway no cancer was found however I have inflamed, swollen and red colon. Suspected IBD 26 biopsies taken- They think chrones.
