Whingey was the procedure as bad as you thought? I remember you were very concerned.

Glad it’s all over and good news. I’m sure it probably wasn’t as bad as you imagined.

I am currently having treatment with blood tests and CT scans with a yearly phone call from a colorectal nurse, in final 3rd year.

That laxative powder is awful isn’t it? I’m not sure if I’ve already mentioned it but I had a colonoscopy in November (all fine) and was horribly sick with the laxative and I fainted too! When I mentioned it to the nurse she said I was the third person that day who had been sick, but no one else had fainted.

The laxative made me really sick too so I refused to take it the second tine. They did an enema which didn’t fully work but was Ok. The last time I had a virtual colonoscopy which is less invasive but still needs a laxative. However it was a different one and it wasn’t anywhere near as violent. The whole think was much better. Worth asking for in future. The only downside is that they cannot take samples for biopsy if needed.
