  • Hello Mary and welcome to the forum.

    It's completely natural to be worried given what you're going through but hopefully when you get to have your colonoscopy it will not show anything sinister.

    If you're having trouble managing the pain you're experiencing at the moment do be sure to let your doctor know as they should be able to provide you with something that can help relieve this.

    Fingers crossed everything will be o.k and you hear back from some of our members soon.

    Kind regards,
