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'm told the MDT should be discussing me today as they have my biopsies and 2 scan results.

    The cancer nurse offered to call me later today with an update post- meeting.

    I know lots of people say this waiting is the hardest part and it gets easier, mentally, once you have a plan. But I'm terrified what they'll tell me. Wish me luck.

    Not being negative but wanted to share with you....  'sometimes ' not all cases are reviewed by  MDT when arranged..this is due to high case load...NO HELP to you and others waiting for an update

    My cousin is going through the system at the moment and has waited for the call only to be told..sorry we didn't get round to all the cases ... the impact when you are waiting,  anticipating important news is overwhelming and I sincerely hope you get an update today...I wanted you to be prepared
