After an 'enhanced prep' over seven day period, I attended my 3rd colonoscopy appointment yesterday. Unfortunately, it proved unsuccessful, & I've been told today that there's no other test available to me through the bowel screening service. A colonography was their only other alternative, but in my case, it still wouldn't help due to blockage.
I have spent most of the day experiencing serious disappointment, frustration, & anxiety. My poor family, who have been so wonderful with their support, haven't known how to deal with my floods of tears & occasional outbursts!
I'm now being discharged by Bowel Screening, & need to see my GP about if & what next step is taken. There has to be a reason for blockage if aggressive laxative preps plus an enema haven't worked! Maybe I'm overthinking & getting worked up over nothing, but it's the 'not knowing' which is difficult. Also, it can take several weeks for a DRS appointment, & then however long it will take for further tests (whatever these may be)!
Has anyone else been in similar situation? Sorry about my rant & seeming so full of self pity - hopefully tomorrow, I'll have a stronger resolve to move forward.
