Not really,  I had phone call to say letter been sent but a week later and still not received it? But was told something suspicious showed up on scan and now need a colonoscopy.  Booked in for Monday 17th November.  So its an anxious waiting time. Hoping its something that can be sorted without too much fuss 

Shaz, I am so pleased for you. You can now breathe with relief. Now time to start enjoying yourself again xx

Thinking of you for 17th. Shall has had good news, so hoping you will do too. Try to relax as much as possible  xx

Thinking of you for the 17th November. It is an anxious wait. The advice and the comfort I got from this chat helped me through the process. People on here are just so understanding and compassionate and have their own stories to tell. Let us know how you get on on the 17th Nov xx

Thank you, Flower. I am hugely relieved but will continue with the annual screenings offered. My gran had bowel cancer and my mum has had issues on and off with her bowels. She is now 83. My dad who is 87, bless him, went for a colonoscopy in September this year to the same hospital. He was so relaxed about it all. So it seemed. He has diverticulitis too and haemorrhoids and few polyps removed. I knew what to expect then as he went through the process. Keep me updated on your treatment, Flower. I am rooting for you xxx

Thank you for caring. I will report back after my colonoscopy on the 17th

Just received a phone call I have my colonoscopy on 16 November at Scunthorpe (anyone been there) just waiting for a phone call to pick up the drink thingy from Grimsby, was hoping the colonoscopy would be nearer home but hey I’ll go with that. Good luck to us all xxx

Yes wishing you all the very best. I feel a little more optimistic now because spoke to nurse today (still not received letter) and ct scan picked up thickening of transverse and sigmoid colon which could be caused by a number of conditions which are treatable. 

Good luck with colonoscopy prep. Yuk

Hi and thanks for thinking of me, I found the prep to be ok-ish not as bad as I thought,  In the fridge for an hour drinking  through a straw 4 slurps of it then a mouth full of Lucazade worked well for me. Apart from 6am one, prep was ok but then I drank the water too fast so I could get back in bed and brought the whole lot back up, even so the bowel was clean BUT I never want that again, it took ages and so so painful but think that’s just me as the lady who went in after me was ok and back out before too long so don’t worry about that. One polyp took off it wasn’t cancer so now it’s over I’m sat at home very happy. 
Will you let me know how you get on and I’m sending you all the best, take care it’ll all be over very soon xx
