Wait for results

Hi, I’m new to the forum, I’ve recently had a colonoscopy which was so painful that it couldn’t be completed, they did however remove two polyps,I was sent home but then they rang me to come in a few days later for a urgent ct colonoscopy appointment.i also found this very painful ,but did however manage to get it done, I’m now waiting anxiously for the results.

I am wondering if it was bad news if I would have heard by now? 

Please help a very anxious mum, wife, sister x

  • Hello Dorys, 

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I am sorry to hear your colonoscopy was very painful but it's good that you managed to do the CT colonoscopy despite it being also painful. 

     I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting for these important results and I hope that you won't have to wait very long. 

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes, 

    Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
