I'm happy to say today's colonoscopy was all clear and there is nothing to worry about. It wasn't a particularly pleasant experience - I had a dehydration headache before going in (and it was all running late of course), then was sick from the pethidine - but it was great to get it all over and done with without need for follow up.
In case anyone who is facing similar is wondering, I opted not to have the sedation (Midazolam) and it really wasn't too bad. Perhaps the pethidine alone was sufficient.
Next on the list is the CT scan in a couple of weeks.
Right. Off to have a nap now, having had a relaxed late lunch out with B. Time to get some energy back before the girls come home from the childminders and B has to head off back to Wales.
Thanks to everyone who sent me best wishes and good luck messages.
