This might well be you - have a read please

Back from a Consultant appt today. He wants me to have a colonoscopy but doubts I have anything to worry about & thinks it might be IBS. It's all such a relief I can tell you. I'm placing this new post to say a HUGE thank you to all those who have responded to my frantic posts over the past 10 days or so & have been so supportive.

I'm also posting to try to give some re-assurance to those worried waiting for their results. Waiting is absolutely dreadful & it's so easy to let your mind go to those very, very dark corners where cancer lurks. My GP said that 9 out of 10 people referred for cancer tests don't have anything horrid. Like me, you are very likely to be 1 of the 10.

Try your best to keep those numbers at the forefront of your mind no matter how bad the symptoms (mine were/are awful). Try to keep yourself busy so the time waiting will pass more quickly.

I wish each & every one of you who reads my post the very, very best outcome.

  • I understand and I am sorry about your father I cannot imagine what that is like, I hope your colonoscopy goes well. It's just frustrating that I was cast aside for so long until some of my other symptoms began to get more worrying. I currently have rather high bilirubin levels and jaundice in my eyes which is making me fear the worst at the moment especially due to the prolonged wait for results as I fear they're doing more tests as theyve found something. Either way I appreciate you taking the time to reply back to me and as for you my inbox is open keep me updated on how everything goes for you my fingers are crossed and I'll keep you in my thoughts
