My partner has been having heavy rectal bleeding for weeks now he had a virtual colonoscopy nearly 3 weeks ago and are awaiting results is it a good thing there taking this long as in if was bad they would be in touch sooner
Hi. I had some bleeding but not heavy I phoned my colorectal nurse I know they only work week days so he could phone the nurses here.
They’re wonderful, I think it would be good to get some advice.
Then Monday he could phone the team to find out when they’re having they’re meeting and how things are progressing. It’s such a stressful time.
Hope he has contact and next steps soon.
Take care
Ann
