Welcome to the forum Matleslie.

Unfortunately no-one here can answer that question but if you make a note of it and any other questions that spring to mind before your appointment you can take them with you and see if the team looking after you are able to give you some insight.

Many of our members have had this procedure done so I'm sure they'll stop by to offer their support and advice when they come across your post but in the meantime I hope this information we have about a colonoscopy will help to put your mind at ease slightly about what's to come.

All the best,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
