severe rectal bleeding, anaemia, and diarrhoea, how long will I have to wait for a colonsocopy?

Posted , 2 users are following.

I'm 18, have had rectal bleeding for around 7 months, I have diarrhoea twice a day and I have low haemoglobin due to this. My GP has referred me for a colonoscopy, how long will I have to wait?

    About a month unfortunately. The whole process is really slow going. I am very bothered by the health care system right now.
