  • I feel for you. 

    I was in a similar position; had my colonnoscopy on Tuesday after beign rushed down the emergency pathway. 

    I can promise that the prep is the worst part of the procedure. Just be prepared after for some nausea, blood in stool and stomach pains for a couple of days (diarreah, gas) etc. as your body clears itself out. 

    The Consultant should give you the results there and then - to put your mind at ease. 

    Mine came back all clear. I am wishing you the best of luck.
