Staying positive

Hi, I'm a 76 year old woman with a complex medical history. 

After 3 bowel screening tests and a positive qFIT I was referred to Colorectal Consultant. 

I was seen last Wednesday and received an appointment on Saturday for a colonoscopy,  this will be carried out on 4th June.

I have had the procedure carried out before ,on one occasion I passed out on another it was stopped as I had a twist in the bowel. 

I am trying to stay positive but it's gonna be a long 4 weeks...

  • Just stumbled on this thread kind of by accident. I’m browsing this forum because my dear Grandma, aged 64, got diagnosed with colorectal cancer last week. I’m researching like a mad woman right now on just about every cancer forum on the internet, even though lots of people say not to do too much research because you can run into a lot of information that may terrify you. Anyway, I read through this entire exchange and it really touched me. Both of you seem like such lovely wise women. Eastendgirl I hope everything works out for you and your colonoscopy is easy and clear. Bluegirl, I am so sorry you are going through this and I hope everything is as easy and painless as it po ibly can be with relativity to your situation. ️

  • Thanku for your kind words and care ⚘️

    I'm 76 and sending extra special to you and your Grandma...

    Really appreciate the support from the group and #Bluegirl 

    Take care and stay strong ️
