Worried

Hi there, 

I am 45 years old and did an at home FIT test which indicated I have blood in my poo... I have had a funny pain in my lower left side which is mostly there in the morning and goes once I have been to the loo. I have found that I need to go to the loo more in the morning now and didn't use to need to do that. 
 

I have a colonoscopy in a couple of days but I'm absolutely terrified it's something nasty. 
 

Any advice would be amazing. 
 

thanks

  • Hello. I can't give advice as not medical but have recently had a colonoscopy. It's not pleasant but actually you feel better for it afterwards. You have the drink which clears you out completely and I had no bad experience with that.  I was able to see the screen at all stages and they did remove a polyp. They put a blue dye in to identify it and was told it looks like a Smurf! 8 biopsies taken... would never have known. I really hope all comes back normal and remember , you are there to treat anything early if there if anything. I really hope all goes ok x
