Colonoscopy

Hi every one I’m due for a colonoscopy on Tuesday I’m feeling really scared don’t really feel.upto the procedure as I really suffer with stress and anxiety but I know I need to do this  I have been feeling as if I need to poo but some times it’s just reddish pus and feeling very gassy but because of feeling I need to poo I’m always in the bathroom , been having problems for a while now. I thought maybe I just had internal piles but when I went to my gp doctor couldn’t see or feel any thing so did a fit test which came back positive  so I was referred for a colonoscopy  I’m so scared of having cancer  not looking forward to the bowel prep  I think your all a lot braver than me   Xx

  • I had a colonoscopy in December,  my consultant advises sedation for the procedure, it made the whole process painless and without stress. The prep didn't cause any issues, drinking plenty of water is the key for a good result.  I was able to be at home, relax and have access to the bathroom... I wish you good luck,  relax and breathe..

  • Hi  I had my colonoscopy Tuesday this week I had it with nothing I just wanted them to get on with it  but my results wasn’t great they found a tumour in my rectum they took 8 biopsies  she said it could have been in there a while. I just thought the feeling I had was piles  I was passing blood a lot towards these last few weeks  but funny enough since the biopsies I haven seen any blood  and I had a normal bm hadn’t had one of them in ages  but I’m feeling a bit sick with thought of food don’t know if that’s just me with my anxiety and stress over it all  or the cancer hope you had a better out come than I did.

  • Any words feel inadequate I hope you have support and understanding from family and friends at this time .

    I've had issues for 14 months,  5 positive qFIT results,  colonoscopy booked in June which had to be cancelled,  finally done in December and now told 18-20 week wait for results..

    I have no appetite,  trying to eat as I  realise how important it is but...

    I don't feel stressed or anxious, just want answers....

    Have you been advised of a plan going forward...

    As I said, words feel so inadequate but I'm thinking of you and sending positive vibes
