I know it's ridiculous but does anyone else have really bad anxiety about doing the bowel cancer test?

I wore my Cornershop t-shirt to bed and realised everybody needs a bosom for a pillow.

I wore my Everly Brothers t-shirt to bed and realised that all I have to do is dream, dream, dream.

I’m with Wildswan and Audi10. I’m grateful the tests are available and just do them. Unless you have symptoms there’s no point in worrying about the results.

The test is now easier to complete. I did one which was clear. That said upper endoscopy revealed a Tubulovillous adenoma (large) in my duodenum. When a çolonoscopy was performed 3 polyps were removed from the main bowel. They were not malignant.

The one I mention in the duodenum is more rare and worrying. Mine is being treated every 3 months endoscopically but I find myself thinking lately maybe best just take the duodenum away - the polyp is either growing back or new ones are developing.
