  • Hello _G,

    You can read about the colonoscopy test here to help you feel more prepared and if you have any questions for them it's good to write them in advance. I hope it goes ok. You mentioned you have anxieties and they are some great resources on the Anxiety UK website. Try not to worry about the outcome. There's no way of knowing until further tests are done so will only make you feel worse.

    Best wishes,
