  • Hello Kallydl

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with continued health problems and that you're still waiting to hear the results of your CT colonoscopy. Do you have an appointment with the Consultant or your GP booked? If you're still waiting on the results after all this time then it would be a good idea to get in touch with your Consultants secretary to see what is happening. 

    I think given everything you've mentioned it's understandable that you're worried so I hope that you have some news soon. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hi Kallydl

    I'm new to the forum and was moved by your post.  Seems you've already managed to cope thus far and maybe focusing on your boy will help maintain the positivity needed to get thru moment by moment till better news arrives.  I know thats what is keeping me going, The thought of my 1yr old.

    Hold tight.
