Hello Kkmumof2

I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been so unwell and that on top of everything else, you're now waiting for further investigations under the 2ww pathway. It's perfectly understandable that you're feeling anxious, especially as you lost your Mum to cancer. 

It's important to try and remember that there could be many reasons other than cancer for the symptoms that you've mentioned in your post. The important thing is that the health professionals have arranged your colonoscopy and hopefully, they will be in a position next week to give you some answers and reassurance. 

We know that for many people this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult. It can sometimes help to talk with someone about how you're feeling. If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice and support they can. 

Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on next week Kk. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
