Hi aliphant 

Hope you don't mind me (man) answering some of the questions when you go in for the camera take someone with you who can drive if you can if you want sedation you have to wait for it to wear off unless you've another driver, some people find procedures painful others are OK I'm afraid it's trial and error, alot of your symptoms "can be stress" you've already set your mind on worst thing, hope I've helped a little bit, best wishes...

Hi 

Your journey sounds very similar to mine , like you I had blood tests and they told me I was aneamic, I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy they thought I had a gut bleed but couldn't find anything . 

They put me on iron tablets and it has now cleared up , I also had all your other symptoms heart pounding in my ears ,forgetful, going into a room forgetting what I was there for ,poor concentration , crying al the time ,l went to my Dr and  was told I have depression and anxiety also Ptsd  dr gave me some meds and now I  feel a lot better.

Hope you feel better soon 

Kind Regards

Billy,

Thankyou for your comments. I have opted for sedation but i'm still panicking!

Juju,

Thanks for your reply. I already suffer from depression and anxiety (takings meds) and have done since the loss of my mum to cancer when I was 17. My Dad has leukaemia, my brother had thyroid cancer and every single other member of my family has had/got/died of cancer. So the odds are stacked against me. The doctors are convinced that I am losing blood internally and the fact that they are rushing things through is making it even worse! I only went to the docs for 3 missed periods and now my world is upside down!

I'm sorry to here that, like you I'm also suffering my sister has terminal cancer bowels liver and lungs  alsoblood clot in leg ...at the moment she is fighting Pnumonia... life is so hard can't stop worrying about my own treatment seeing this is my second cancer in 2 years but in other breast.

I wish you all the best x

Best wishes to you too. I feel guilty for worrying when I think of other that are going through much worse than me.

Never feel guilty ..each cancer  is like a life sentence to that person ...today I spoke to my nurse I have invasive tubular carcinoma E+  wire insertion next Thursday then op on Friday...might need to have radiation ...

Wish you all the best 

I am in similar situation but my children are older my husband has serious illness & relies on me. We deny our stress for the others but forums like this helps us to talk and maybe give some friendship as united we stand ️

Thanks for your kind words. Every day as carers we have to be strong, forget our own troubles and carry the world on our shoulders. It's reassuring to speak to other like minded people who are going through similar.

The only thing taking my mind off it all now is the overwhelming feeling of nausea having just completed tonight's dose of moviprep. I mixed it with orange dilute and the flavour wasn't too bad at all (A bit like sherbet lemon boiled sweets) but just the sheer quantity of liquid you're expected to have is a nightmare. My insides are waterlogged! 

We can join hugs & love globally to obviously not cure it but make ourselves as one for future to fight it
