Colonoscopy worry
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi, I've been having pain in my right lower abdomen for some time now and did some tests and all seem clear. Today I went to a surgeon who tested me and said all feels very normal. Since my dad had colon cancer at 56 he suggested I do a colonoscopy just to make sure there is nothing. I need to wait till the 20th April and I'm already freaking out. Will they tell me immediately after the colonoscopy if something is wrong? I'm 39 with 2 kids and always assume the worst that I have cancer. Please give me any advice you can as to whether I should be panicking so much

explain that you are getting really stressed about it. you could also ask if there is a cancellation you would come at short notice .
don't worry too much if you were "(in need ") the wait would not be so long

So if they thought there was something worrying they would have fit me in faster?

and YES, they come and tell you whilst you are having a cup of tea
and, if there was anything to worry about ,you would have been done by now

Yes, agressive cancers are more likely in those who are younger.
Perhaps talking to your GP would be helpful in getting your colonoscopy moved up, and help you to cope with your thoughts. Ask your doctor if he is just ruling out all possibilities, or if this colonoscopy something he is concerned about.
My child is an adult now, so I know your concern. You are doing what you can to take care of matters, so there isn't much else to do.
Best of everything.
