Bleeding with bowel movements. Colonoscopy on Thursday. So scared.

Hi I've had bleeding with bowel movements for about 2 months. I've had a hysteroscopy but everything came bk fine then I had my smear test which took 5 months to come back to say I have high risk of hvp virus and cells have changed on my cervix and there was cells of endometriosis too. I have a Colonoscopy on Thursday and I'm so scared!! My mum and sister have had precancerous cell removered before and my mum died of breast cancer. Reading posts about this makes me feel a bit better knowing I'm no the only one that's had this worry x

  • Hello Murraymints40, 

    I just wanted to wish you the best of luck for your colonoscopy tomorrow. You're definitely not alone in this and I am glad that reading posts here has made you feel a bit better. 

    You will find on our website useful information on what to expect from your colonoscopy appointment.  It's normal to be feeling anxious especially given your family history but try if you can not to worry too much or anticipate the worst as there are also so many benign conditions which could explain your symptoms. It won't be long now until you get some answers so everything crossed for you for tomorrow that it all goes well!

    Best wishes,
