Hi,

My wife (56 years old) 2 week ago had a bowel screening colonoscopy and a polyp was removed.

She was rung today with the results and told “ something of interest “ had been found and an appointment made for her to have a second colonoscopy in 6 weeks time.She thought they said something about looking “ further up the bowel”

She is an eternal optimist and says that if it was serious they wouldn’t wait 6 weeks before a follow up.

I am an eternal pessimist and am worried sick.

I cannot find online any reason why a second colonoscopy would be required so soon after the first.

My wife is a private person and says she has had no symptoms of concern though I did notice a prolonged spell of diohrea in the summer which appears to have past.

Any advice or help would be very much appreciated.

Thank You
