Colonoscopy

Hi 

pretty scared at the minute I've been having bloating and dull abdo pain since may , they thought it was stomach issues however an ultrasound and upper endoscopy proved normal. My liver was fine to this was in august.

then I caught COVID but had really mild issues, and amazingly after COVID my symptoms disappeared for around 6 weeks only to return last month.

this has been on and off for 6 months last week I did a stool test which had raised calpratectin so I was offered a blood test and a fit test my bloods were normal but they found blood in my stool , I have also noticed skinny poo but I can't see any blood, last few days my abdominal pain is slight worse as well.

any help please 

I am now awaiting a colonoscopy 2 week referral I'm pretty scared as I suspect I have cancer I'm 48 and usually pretty healthy.
