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

  • I had a fit score of 168 i had a colonoscopy and they found a 5cm tumour i have a CT scan this week, i had no symptoms still don’t all i had was mucus in my poo with a touch of blood, it could be your haemorrhoids that caused your positive fit score, here is hoping it is 

  • Thanx 4 answering my post Gordgrc..3 days closer 2 my colonoscopy..Still symptom  free apart from a really sore pain in my lower right side..its been niggling and niggling for four days now..can't seem 2 get rid of it

  • 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
