Colonoscopy was today!

Hi all,

I don’t know if you remember I posted about a fit test of 12.. I had the colonoscpy today and found to have diverticula and two small serrated polyps. She told me there and then that they were benign but from looking online I don’t know how she could know that?! 

  • Hello Lukis

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health concerns which needed investigation via a colonoscopy. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

    The specialist will have told you that she believes they are benign based on her years of training and clinical expertise. It's likely that the polyps had particular features that reassured the specialist that there was nothing of immediate concern. 

    What has the team said next about results or a follow-up appointment? Do get back in touch with your GP if you don't have a follow-up planned with the specialists and hopefully they will be bale to give you some reassurance.

    Best wishes,
