Worried

I'm a 62yr old woman and have recently had a positive FIT test..I've now to go for a colonoscopy..I wouldn't say I'm fit but I've never smoked and hardly ever drink..both my parents..an uncle n aunt have all died from cancer..lung ..breast..liver..I'm now panicking incase I have cancer although I havnt had any symptoms apart from loose stools and lower back pain..I had a colonoscopy about 29yrs ago and was told then I had internal hemorrhoids...can't sleep for worrying

  • Mine was a little sore on my left side for a couple of weeks or so which i think was made a little worse by the colonoscopy as before i had that i never really had it other than occasionally which i put down as IBS and took some buscopan and it worked as it would go completely overnight , when i woke up in the morning it would have vanished completely , i seem to have a lot of wind and still do , i had a CT scan yesterday still waiting to hear what stage my colon cancer is at , its very scary
