Colonoscopy

I have urgent colonoscopy booked for Thursday. There was very high calpcroctine in stool :( I'm so scared I have convinced myself I have stage 4 bowel cancer I have pain near liver. I had blood test 2 months ago all was ok appart from low vitamin d liver funtion was fine. Anyone though they had cancer but turned out to be ulcerative colitis crohns? My symptoms are large amounts of yellow mucus on every stool I have spotted the smallest amount of blood maybe twice no abdominal pain feels really inflamed up there after bowel movement and pressure high up. I'm confident the problem is in the area where stool is stored. I'm sooo hoping it's protitus but the lack of blood is telling me otherwise. If I do have stage 4 cancer can I beat it?

    I know it's difficult when waiting for tests and results but try not to jump to any conclusions or worse case scenarios until you know more. 

    Hopefully some of our members will offer their support to you soon but in the meantime we're thinking of you and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    I'm not sure if you've had a colonoscopy before, but if not, you can read up on it just here.
