Hello Anxietyqueen31 and welcome to Cancer Chat!

It is normal to be anxious at the moment as you are waiting to have your colonoscopy and as you rightly pointed out you will only be able to know exactly what is going on after you have had your colonoscopy. Try not to expect the worst as there can be so many different explanations to your symptoms so the best thing to do at the moment is to keep busy while waiting for your appointment and avoid looking anything up online or it might make you even more anxious.

It's great that you have no family history of bowel cancer nor any weight loss or tiredness and that your bowel habits are normal. It won't be long now before you get some answers.

Let us know how you get on if you get a chance!

Best wishes,

Hello there ,

I was reading your post and was wondering how are you doing ?  It interesting to know what was your diagnoses as my sister is just experiencing the same thing as you and she waiting an appointment as is besides herself, she so scared she can’t think of anything else. 

I hope you are now well xx

How did your sister get on xx

Hiya thanks for your reply. She got the all clear. Diagnosis procitus and colitis. her bleeding was nasty and it stopped but started again. She s not happy with the condition but relieved it's not anything too serious. 

Thanks for asking. 
 

Glad it was nothing sinister x

just wondering what the results of your colonoscopy were. I have symptoms identical to yours. Will be having a colonoscopy in the next 2 weeks. Feeling very nervous 

Just wanted to update if anyone else reads this with the same symptoms. I have been diagnosed with proctitis. Was petrified it was something else. All same symptoms as original poster

I have many health issues and have had a swollen stomach for around 17 months , since I had my baby by c section. It has got increasingly worse but never gets any less or better. I have a painful stomach.  Very tired all the time. And feel very I'll sick and weak especially these last few days . I would be grateful for any advice pleas . Many thanks
