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...

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

I don't really know what any of that means but I just hope it all turns out well for you.

It is so good yours caught early xx

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

Aww bless well I have everything crossed for u xxx

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

I phoned Macmillan but they wasn’t a lot of help, maybe because I had no questions really just worried and wanting to know why the long wait. The way I’m thinking now is at the moment we have nothing to worry about until we get a phone call so gonna try and live with that but in my heart of hearts I know bad news is coming. Hope you hear soon Helen.

Sam how are you doing? Take care all xx

Aww bless you sue, fingers crossed for some good news, I'm doing OK, started treatment now for blood clots on lungs I'm on them til February that's when I have appointment to speak to the specialist doctor, and I have got breast clinic on the 23rd this month, think they want to find out if I have cancer first if I don't then they will investigate on what's caused the blood clots xxx

Oh bless you Sue..I think that's the thing isn't it..just tons of worries..the nurse from yesterday was ringing me today to see if I had any questions..I missed her call but I don't really have any as until you know things then everything else is just worry isn't it..like you all I feel is bad news coming but my other half keeps saying that I don't know that but I feel it..so hope you get some good news..xx

Ah Sam glad you doing OK and fingers crossed they find nothing on the 23rd..I prob should remember but I think your colonoscopy was OK? How you feeling in yourself now? Xxx

Thank you yeah fingers crossed the lump they found on CT scan is nothing serious, and yes my Colonoscopy came back all clear got letter yesterday confirming it all too xx

Hi lovely’s, just received his moviprep not got a date yet, have to wait for further instructions!!  I don’ know why he has to have that one with 1ltr x2, no stomach so where’s it going to go to, Ive phoned up the bowel nurse to ask. I was hoping he may have got something like you had Helen or picolax  Just hoping they know what they’re doing though, no stomach, 1 kidney. Take care people x

. 

1 litre x 2? Mine was 500ml x 2. Seems a bit much?

Hiya lovely..that sounds a lot to drink..altho when I separated the 500mls into 4 drinks it was quite small and then did same with another 500mls of water..so did work out not too bad..would def recommend the ice pop to have immediately after and using a straw too if your husband ok with that.. I did hold my nose too which is easier with a straw I think and that worked OK...to be honest it really was not as bad as I'd been dreading..made it out to be worse in my mind.. do let me know what bowel nurse says xx

I’ve just receive a phone call from the bowel nurse after leaving a message, she said he can drink it over a longer time, so long as it’s done by 2hr before so not too bad. I made the mistake of asking how big they were, the biggest is a little bigger than yours Helen 16mm, wish I’d never asked now. What are they doing about yours Helen, I can’t remember if you said they’d taken it off or not. I’ll read back when I post this. Thanks everyone for been there x

No worries. It's priceless for even a few words of comfort off someone. Even if it's quite brief.
