Low iron found on blood test and I've been fast tracked for a colonoscopy. Really scared and don't know how to cope with the wait

Had blood test where it's revealed very low iron and I'm anemic, a FIT test has come back positive and I'm being fast tracked for a colonoscopy. I've been reading online and I'm convinced I'm stage 4 bowel cancer and I'm really scared - I don't know how to cope whilst waiting for an appointment

  • I have breast cancer and also find it really difficult waiting for appointments and results.  The only thing I can suggest is trying to keep busy and distract yourself.  With too much time on my hands thoughts can whirr round and round in my head and that doesn’t really help.  Good luck with everything
