Ok I’m a glass into the second lot of prep ! 

I have a tip !!! I am now holding an ice pop ( of apple flavour !) which I immediately stick in my mouth after each glass ! Thus taking away the flavour and immediacy to gag :/ lol this may help others … 

Hi Lily, oh good tip!!! Will copy you as that sounds really effective.. how did you get on yesterday eve? Were you OK to go to bed? I do wonder how long the effects of the drink go on for...

It's 500ml so just under a pint and you drink at least a pint of water plus I'm drinking diet tonic too..I've got an ice pop too to help take taste away..not sure what the moviprep is like but this is actually miles better than I thought it was..bloody starving tho as barely ate today...no effects yet but assume will start soon xx

No I did nor lol. It wasn't to bad at first but after a while it started to make me gag! Tbh it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. 

It was a couple of hours later for me if I remember correctly. The toilet urges got worse though as the hours ticked by. 

Hi Sue..not good news..procedure was fine and not painful but a 1.5cm polyp found with features consistent of a possible malignancy. CT scan booked..bloods taken.biopsies taken. Will have to be removed either by another colonoscopy or if malignant by surgery.plus checking nodes and so on..I am so scared as hoped was just a small polyp..I have a small one too they did remove..x

Oh Helen I’m so sorry, I too was hoping it would just be a polyp they could just remove. Let’s just hope it’s not cancerous as they haven’t said it is have they so there’s still hope. I’m keeping everything crossed for you Helen, I’m going to say try not to worry but know you will. My husband apparently has 4 polyps and a small flat one … still waiting for something to happen. Keep in touch with us won’t you. Good luck xx

Oh Helen I'm so sorry for your bad news, hopefully it comes back all clear, I have my fingers crossed for u and big hugs x

Thanks my lovely..know you got your own stuff going on too..suppose this is why they do screening but shell-shocked this was discovered.. they have given me the photos and does not look nice..I just have to hope if malignant then caught early but has rocked my world xx

Thank u Sue..bless yoi with all you got going on..I know they not said but thinking the worst..of course..the size of the polyp is worrying..and of course I'm now stressing what CT scan will find...what an awful time xx

Helen it could be nothing yet but at least you got a heads up and even if it is something treatment is the best its ever been and you didn't ignore it which might have been worse ,so I sure hope all goes well for you x

Thank you so much Jenny..been trying to Google all the terms in the colonoscopy report and hard to work out..just now feels like yet more worrying and not knowing.. at least I won't fear a colonoscopy as it was fine to have done..but how I wish nothing was found x

I feel for you Helen, I’ve also been googling, I’m not sure we should do that though but how else do you understand all the terminology they use, do you know what part of the bowel it’s in xx

Its in the left hand sigmoid part which I've been googling and seems not as bad or risky as right hand side..but it is 1.5cm which is not small altho over 2cm more of an issue I think..says right hand side ones less likely to show symptoms or have good outcome..so many confusing terms though..thinking worst and worrying even more than before...xx

Its probably the hardest thing to do waiting for results of biopsies and scans ,while you're waiting hang onto the thought that you don't know yet ,the thing that they get results from are the biopsies ,obviously prepare yourself but at this point nothing is certain and like I said if it turns out to be then you will get the best treatment plan and you'll get through it one day at a time ,keep chatting away on here with people who really care x

Yes you're right it's more waiting and more worrying and thinking the worst..my mind is going to worst scenario constantly..I think I might see if I can see my gp in a few days...everyone on here so lovely and supportive x

Yes it's in the left hand side about 30cm inside..from reading it seems this is better than being in the right side xx

Just read through your update, I’m sorry you’ve not had good news, I agree with you in it doesn’t sound good but I definitely think you should call your doctor and ask them to explain things abit more simple for you so you can either stop worrying or you can atleast know your options if it does turn out to be cancerous.I hope you have a lot of support at home at this moment in time I think they have a number on this website you can actually speak to a nurse about your concerns.Good luck and try to stay positive.xx

Helen have you thought about phoning Macmillan up and talking to them, I’ve done that on a few occasions. 0808 808 0000. My husband has 4 polyps, found out  2 left and  2 right side, not sure where the flat one is. I think I may phone Macmillan up later today, It’s so scary and not much info is been offered, just waiting for a nurse to phone up……Keep in touch Helen xx

I said this before that we have a wonderful NHS service but it's things like this that need improving imo. Leaving people in limbo isn't good. 

That's a good idea Sue I hadn't thought of doin that.. I hope you get a call from the nurse..given they told me straight away their concerns then id hope they would have let you know already there was a worry with ant of his..do let me know what macmillan say xx

Yes it is the waiting and worrying that is hard..they said 5 to 7 days before biopsy result..they will phone me with that and I had blood taken..not sure why or what they'd test from that
