Hi all 

I’m 43 female and 6 weeks ago I finally went to my gp about my bowel symptoms which is heavy bleeding and lots of mucus, these symptoms I’ve had for a year.

she put me on the fast track referral for bowel cancer.

4 weeks ago I saw the colorectal consultant 

then 2 weeks ago I had a colonoscopy where they found 3 polyps possibly 4 in my rectum

1st one was 25mm

2nd one was 3cm

3rd one was 15mm 

had 10 biopsies taken and still waiting results 

this week I had a ct colonography scan as they couldn’t reach to the right side of my bowel during the colonoscopy as bowel prep hadn’t worked properly.

i have a phone call appointment on the 18th Aug with general surgery which I’m presuming is to discuss surgery to remove the polyps.

obviously the waiting is mentally draining. 

is there anyone going through similar?
