Colonoscopy found and removed polyp

Hello there I'm new on here 

I had a colonoscopy procedure last week had 8 random biopsies and a polyp removed. I was given a report afterwards of where polyp was removed and biopsies taken,  it also read assured of no sinister pathology. Just waiting for my pathology results to come back from lab but so nervous, I can't sleep and I'm panicking all the time my anxiety and stress levels are through the roof, I don't want to worry my partner but just need someone to talk too.

Thank you

  • Hi I'm pleased for you that it's nothing sinister please hold onto that. Anxiety is an awful thing I'm currently waiting to go in for a colonoscopy and the anxiety is horrendous. Keep talking to people, people will want to help you shouldn't go through it alone. Another thing you might find helpful is try some meditation,counting, breathing that kind of thing seems to help calm me a bit. Hoping all will be ok with your final results. 

  • Hello thank you for your reply, im still waiting for my results but can be up to 3 weeks depending on the backlog, yeah hopefully all will be ok, its just the anxiety and the not knowing driving me crazy. I have a little talk to myself and given my head a wobble telling myself im not going to worry about it and keep myself busy, I like doing crafts so im throwing  myself into that. Good luck with your colonoscopy i can tell you this the actual procedure was ok and they are so reassuring and make you feel relaxed and they do offer sedation if you want it, its all over in 30mins.

    take care :happy:
