  • Hi Hariett,

    I too have been referred for a 2WW colonoscopy, mine is on Tuesday. I am so scared! My fit test was positive at 400! My faecal calprotectin was negative so I do not have IBD so even more worrying! 
    what are your symptoms? I have a lot of abdominal pain, acid reflux, severe bloating, belching, change in bowel habit and coccyx pain. 
    good luck for your colonoscopy!

  • Hi LIsa, sorry that you too are in a similar situation,, I hope your colonoscopy goes ok,, I wish I had never been to the doctors in the first place as I cant sleep or eat with worry,, I don't have any symptoms apart from a feeling that I have something fizzy in my stomach and slight changes in my bowel habit,  :(  let me know how you get on love xx

  • Hi every one I’ve been passing gas with blood and loose stools I thought maybe I had internal piles but it’s been going on a while now  I went to see the doctor the other day so I had a rectal examination doctor says she can’t feel any piles  so I’m really worried as where the bright red blood is coming from  I’ve just sent a FIT test off so awaiting for that. But I’m dreading having a colonoscopy it’s taken over every thing my mind tells me I have rectal or colon cancer I can’t eat and sleep  I’ve got stress and anxiety 

  • Hi, I’m waiting for my FIT test and another. I’ve been having a change in bowel movements and some small red blood spots when wiping. I’m really worried and I’m feeling the same as you. It’s on my mind all the time and I’m not being a pleasant person at the moment as I can’t seem to focus on anything other than worrying. My dad had bowel cancer the other year (and is absolutely fine by the way!!) x
