After receiving an urgent 2 week appt following positive FIT test and abdo pains yesterday I had my colonoscopy. The worst thing about the whole journey was the worry. I was convinced I had bowel cancer, my whole body totally consumed. I cried, couldn't sleep, felt weak and pathetic. I spoke to everyone about it hoping to get a glimmer of hope from their story. The next worse bit was the moviprep, horrible stuff, I bit into a slice of lemon after each glass, all doable tho. How I got ready that morning and walked through the hospital doors to my doom I will never know. The procedure itself was a doddle, bit of sedation, 2 mild prods and it was over. Small polyp. Pls don't google it heightens your anxieties.
