Hello Chrissiegolfer
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been advised to have a colonoscopy following some blood being found in your stool sample.
It's understandable that you may be feeling anxious about this result and the upcoming appointment. There could be any number of reasons for the blood that's been detected so try to remain positive and not focus too much on the "what ifs".
If you think it might help to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
I hope you have some reassuring news soon.
Best wishes,
Jenn
