Hi all,
I joined here about a month ago, after scoring between 100 and 200 on a FIT Test.
Gradually when waiting 2 weeks for a consultant just to approve my journey to colonoscopy I started to notice infrequent blood myself. So I was convinced of the diagnosis.
Thats when I came on here and found a place I could talk about my fears without feeling like I’m spoiling the ‘vibe’ in the family home.
I finally had my colonoscopy last week, by which time I was so scared that the bad news was not just inevitable but imminent. And despite cutting out 4 polyps it was the doctors opinion there was no evidence of cancer.
So I wanted to say to anyone reading this now despite positive fit, actual sighting by of blood and occasional abdominal pains, it still doesn’t mean the worst.
I’m still occasionally sore now, which means I am yet to fully relax from what I think was the worst month of my life mentally. But wanted to thank everyone on here for being a voice to talk to when I felt alone with the fear.
