Hi everyone,
I've never joined a forum or anything, to be honest I don't really know what I'm doing despite being pretty technical.
I've been having some concerning symptoms going back a couple of years (abdo pain mainly but also thin stools, blood, constipation and diarrhea, fatigue). Recently I had high FIT & calprotectin results, therefore I am on the 2ww and my colonoscopy is booked for Tuesday.
I'm trying to think logically as I am only 35 and these tests could mean so many other things, but it is hard not to slip into a negative mindset now and then.
I'm not really sure why I'm posting. Maybe it's to feel less alone. Maybe it's for education. But if you're reading it's likely you've been in a similar place before and know the worries that come with the waiting.
If anyone has any advice on the colonoscopy or the prep I'd gladly welcome it, as it's something I've never done and I'm extremely anxious about. Or anything other advice or experiences!
Tegan
