hello, 

i hope i'm posting this in the right way, i've never used this site before. 

recently my mom had some normal blood tests done and the doctor called her a few weeks later and told her she was concerned with the results. her blood platelets were higher than normal and the doctor said this could be a sign of cancer, then she asked my mom if she'd been having any unusual symptoms and my mom had been, she's had diarrhoea a lot and there has been blood there too, she has had these symptoms for quite a while, over a year i think and she just put it off as hemmoroids. the doctor told her she was very concerned that it could be colorectal cancer and so she has a colonoscopy this sunday. 

i'm just so scared, my mom is 46 years old and she's still so young and i don't want to lose her. i haven't been able to get it out of my head since the doctor called her. i don't know what to do, i've been trying to stay positive for my moms sake because i don't want to show her that i'm scared because i'm worried it will scare her. 

i just keep sitting here and crying and praying for the best, my mom is my entire universe and i don't want her to go through this, i wish i could swap places with her so she didn't have to go through this. 

will she find out the results on the day of her colonoscopy? if anyone knows that information.
