So after not being listened to by doctor after doctor just dismissing me due to age, I finally had my regular trusty doctor who was comforting, made me feel not crazy and LISTENED!! I have been given an urgent referral for a colonoscopy on a 2 week wait. 
As much as the worry of what could be wrong with me is still very much hanging over my head, a little wave of relief in just that I was heard and listened too, was nice. 
 

now just to get in and see what's going on so whatever the outcome to get myself sorted! I will post updates.
