Hi all,
I have never posted anything on a forum before and stay away from social media. But I'm so scared. I have had very minor symptoms which were easily explained but finally went to the doctor in August because symptoms(minor bleeding) had come back. Referred for endoscopy due to blood tests and all clear in stomach and upper bowel. Colonoscopy not clear and was told I have a lesion that needs a biopsy. That was Tuesday. Today (Saturday) I got a phone call from the hospital saying I needed an urgent CT scan (lungs and abdomen). I can't be brave, I'm terrified and mystified that I have very little discomfort, I'm fit and full of energy, no family history and only 53. I'm so worried that it's already too late. So hello and hope I can use this space for a chat. I can't even cry. Just shaking a lot. I understand it has to be an 'urgent scan' but this feels very difficult. Thank you for reading x
