Colonoscopy-very worried

Hi all,

I went to the Dr in October for feeling tired. Found out I had low B12, ferretin. Further tests done for malabsorption 

I've now had a positive FIT test for 160 and feeling extremely worried. Colonoscopy next week but already feeling the worst. I am only a 30 year old female with no other symptoms. 

  • Hello La93

    I'm sorry to hear that your recent tests have shown some abnormalities and that you're now waiting for a colonoscopy next week. It's understandable that you're feeling worried. 

    I know that many members here will agree that this period of waiting and uncertainty can be particularly difficult and often people's thoughts will jump to the worst-case scenario. It's important to try and remember that there could be any number of reasons for the issues that you've mentioned. 

    If you think it may help to chat things through with one of our nurses ahead of your appointment you're most welcome to give them a call. I'm sure they will be happy to offer any advice, information, and support they can. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope you get some reassurance at your appointment next week. Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes, 
    Jenn
