Hi Shell, hope you managed some sleep.
i know it’s so hard but try and not worry too much.
we are in the same position, I’m having my colonoscopy in the next 2 weeks.
be kind to yourself this weekend and try not to google too much, says me!!,
Maybe work might be a good distraction?
big hugs

Hi Teresa,
I got a better sleep, I really hope you did too.
clinician rang today and decided she wants a virtual CT first, I may need the colonoscopy but will have to wait up to 2 weeks for CT results before knowing.
interesting what she told me (although I probably read it on googling over and over but seemed all new actually hearing it)
low numbers and high fit test numbers often reveal things like a possibility of IBD, diverticulitis, ulcers or polyps, these tests are the best to find out. found that a bit reassuring and hope that helps you too.
I hope all goes well with your test and again please get in touch anytime and keep me posted how you go on. I’m still googling but think I’ve probably read every thread over and over. Whatever helps us I say.
big hugs x
Hi Shell,
I'm glad you had a better sleep, did you manage work?
That sounds more positive and good to know.Doesn’t help you worrying tho does it!
I don’t know if it’s any good to you but instead of google I’ve been using Chat GPT. I don’t know if you have it but the info from that is much more reassuring.
Im here any time you want to chat love and let’s get this all over and done with so we can get on with our lives.
My colonoscopy is on the 27th.

If you type in Fit test above where it says Search Forum you will get lots of different people telling of their own experiences ,I hope that helps instead of Google .
Thank you Jenny , il try that too.
thank you
Hi Teresa,
