Hi, Im new here.

I've been having bowel ( constipation, bloating) for a while. Had a ct colonoscopy which has showed slight thickening of the sidmoid colon and 2 or 3 pronounced lymph nodes but the consultant added, no signs of obvious malignancy. I'm now down for a flexi sigmoidoscopy next week but have asked for a colonoscopy, I've not heard if I'm having that yet. . 

Has anyone else had results like these ? Obv concerned with the thickening and lymph nodes. 

  • Hi . The no obvious signs of malignancy is good news and hopefully the coloniscopy will confirm the same. I can’t answer your question but maybe you could give the nurses on here a ring and run it past them? The number is 0808 808 00 00

    Take care
