Hi all. I am new here, first post.
I had a colonoscopy yesterday following which I was called in to an office with my husband and told have an area of inflammation that he suspected to be cancer - was fairly certain so now just waiting biopsy results then MRI.
I had to break news to mum and kids yesterday which as you can imagine was devastating.
I am so convinced it has spread - I have had bleeding since a few weeks before Xmas and stupidly put off going to docs as thought it would just be piles (first blood was after some constipation) but also had a very slight pain in my side for a while which came and went so never really thought anything about it until it came back when the bleeding started. Now just feeling absolutely devastated and scared.
also wanted to ask before colonoscopy which I had at about 3 pm yesterday I was having stools with some blood in but last night and this morning have been having lot of gas and passing mostly just blood and what looks like clot though could be some stool with blood. Is this normal after biopsy taken?
thank you for reading my ramble and any help you can give, xxxx
Bless you. It’s very scary. I was really anxious I put it out of my head until I was in there. I took the soundtrack to The greatest showman and sung my way through the MRI. the CT scans nothing to worry about. One step at a time. Deep breathe and let’s gets it diagnosed and gone. Good luck.

No you’re right to be anxious, frightened,angry and tearful. I was all of the above.
Once you get the treatment plan it gets so much better. This is the toughest time.
Be kind to yourself.
