Worried about colorectal cancer

Hi

I'm a 47 year old male who has recently had a positive fit test after noticing blood in my stools. I've lost weight, have lumps in my stomach, have stomach pains, nauseous all the time and I'm constantly tired. My blood results are all normal and otherwise I feel OK. I have a colonoscopy planned within the next two weeks and I'm feeling very anxious about the whole thing. What can I expect going forward? And advice or support very welcome.....

  • Hi Andy1977,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. We have some information on our website about having a colonoscopy, which may help in terms of understanding what to expect. You can ask any questions you may have at this appointment, and following this there may be a bit of a wait for further results.

    I can see you have received replies to your other post from other members of the forum, which is great.

    I hope it's not long to wait until the appointment and that it goes OK.

    Wishing you all the best,
