Hello jac1959

I'm sorry to hear that you've had some concerns about your bowel health recently. It's good to know that you've already had a colonoscopy and that nothing of immediate concern was seen during the procedure. 

We know that for many people, this period of waiting and uncertainty can be difficult. Many people have biopsies taken during this type of examination. Try to remember that there could be any number of causes for the problems that you've been experiencing but hopefuly when you see the specialists in a few weeks they will be able to give you reassurance. 

In the meantime, if it would help to talk things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. I know they will be happy to listen and offer any advice, information and support they can. 

Keep in touch and let us know how you get on, jac1959. We're here for you. 

Best wishes, 
Jenn
