I am booked for my colonoscopy today after positive FIT and low iron levels. I am so worried. Haven’t slept or ate for 3 weeks almost. Feel terrible and just not even sure if I can go through with it. Feel like waking up this morning is the beginning of the end. I am really thinking the worst and have a beautiful little boy to think of. X

I am really sorry to hear this, I hope you get some answers next week. Please can you keep us posted? I will keep checking the page.

I have been for my colonoscopy today, it was completely clear. I cannot believe it. My FIT test was around 200 and very low iron levels but nothing to see.
We have health insurance so my private appt came through before NHS and the whole process although very worrying was absolutely fine. I felt very little during the colonoscopy and recovered quickly and well after. I have just picked my little boy up from a friends house and could not stop cuddling him.
I am feeling very grateful, not only to have had a clear result but to have the support from this group which has kept me going during some very dark days and nights. I am ordering a large takeaway to celebrate tonight as have lost a stone with worry over the last few weeks.

I have an appt booked next week re an iron transfusion and will also look into B12 injections as I am keen to make myself better now.
