Hey newbie here, I have a colonoscopy on Sunday, an ultrasound on Thursday and then a endoscopy next Saturday, I’m freaking out and panicking, i had an abnormal FIT test and I have loose stools, or thin long ones, bloating stomach, abdo pain, and a pain in my left shoulder that feels like a pinched nerve, I’m trying to be positive but I cannot sleep for worrying this evening. I feel like I can’t mention the extent of how *** I feel to my partner as I don’t want to worry him  

  • Hi ajb1977,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be difficult - it's never easy waiting for appointments and results. I'm glad it's not long to wait for these, and I hope the first one went OK yesterday.

    If you feel you can't speak fully to your partner, remember we are always here for support if ever you need it, even if it's simply to write things down.

    Hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post soon - you can also search the forum for other relevant discussions if you would like to.

    I hope that your appointments go OK and that it's not long to wait for the information you need.

    Wishing you all the best,

    Ben
