Hi 

Im alsp waiting for appointment for colonoscopy.

Its good you have it so quick. By the time I have my phone appointment that will be 3 and a half weeks since referral, a long time to be waiting.

Any fit test about 10 gets referred on the urgent pathway, its doesnt mean there is or even that doc suspects bowel cancer.

If you have reflux could possibly be bleeding from higher up in your stomach, like an ulcer or something especially is the blood is darker.

Also, you can have internal.piles that are higher up that the doc cannot feel so it still could be that.

There are also conditions like crohns, and collitis, which can inflame the bowel and cause bleeding. Food allergies and intolerance,  diverticulitis.  There are many conditions other than bowel cancer that can cause these symptoms and results 

Its such a worrying time and its normal that most of us jump to the worse case scenario.

Take care 

Thats a long time to be waiting. 

Yes understand there could be many variables here. My wife is a Senior Sister at A & Esi has certainly made me aware of same. 

Internal piles could well be an option here or IBD  ( stomach ulcer is riled out) either of the above I'll happily take any day. 

Hope you get your appointment soon.
