Bowel Cancer Screening Test positive

MissAdventure, no I wasn't busy at all and have no idea why I’ve suddenly started to wobble. Maybe because the date is getting closer?

I’ve started to take Kalms so hoping these will help.

I didn’t think you were making light by the way 😊

I've known a good few people who claim Kalms get them through stressful times
Fingers crossed, they work.
I'm a terrible coward, so I'm petrified of any procedure, let alone the results.

It's a known thing, "scanxiety" but I'm not sure anyone has found the answer to making it less stressful.

Just wanted to say good luck for tomorrow

NanaK54 it’s so kind of you to remember 😊

I’ve just put the jug of doom into the fridge ready for the first dose at 7.00.

I must admit I’m starting to get properly anxious now.

No, don't succumb now! It's nearly over.

you have got this!

You will be fine

Thanks NotSpaghetti and crazyH. 👍😘

Oh yes, good luck!
It seems to have come around quickly, although probably not for you, I'm sure.

Please let us know how it goes: all of it!!

We're invested in ot now, and these threads really help others

Good luck for tomorrow. You’ve got this!

Thanks MissAdventure and LucyAnna 🥰

The jug of doom is the worst bit in my opinion. Give me the Humming Machine anyday. I hold my nose and sort of pour it down my throat , trying not to taste it. Try and think of the good it's doing. Your bowels will be all pink and clean on the inside when your "session" in the bathroom , to put it politely , is over.
Best of luck for tomorrow

Good luck for tomorrow. I’ll be thinking of you 💐

Thanks Labradora and Grandyma 😘

All the best for tomorrow X

OldFrill thanks. 😘

I have to say, this bowel prep isn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

I expected something, err we’ll ‘livelier’ All very gentle up to now.

Be prepared, just in case.

Sillyoldbird my husband says give it time, and don't move 😂😳😂

Wishing you well sillyoldbird. Soon be over.

Good luck for today. Hope your prep has done its stuff and you’re feeling good. At least it won’t be long now. The waiting is the worst.

Soon be over!
Thinking of you.

Well, I have piles.

But thank you, thank you, thank you for the support which was just incredible. It sounds a bit of a cliche, but I genuinely am so grateful to every one of you.

To summarise events since yesterday, the preparation was easy (apart from the devil’s brew 🤢) with no major toilet explosions.

The procedure itself was a breeze, sure I could have done it without the sedative. But most of all, the hospital staff, without exception, were fantastic.

The only downside was that I got biscuits and I really needed the toast

Now to do something about the life-long anxiety problem.

Here’s a massive, virtual, sloppy kiss and a hug for each and every single one of you. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

I bet you've never been so pleased to have piles!

So glad it went ok.

You were very brave!

So pleased it went well Sillyoldbird. As MissA has said you've been very brave and just for getting through the procedure, but for sharing your experience here too .

What lovely news and although you are still in shock probably the relief when it sinks in will be so good.
My S’s friend went through similar two weeks ago and I don’t think she really believes yet that she doesn’t have something sinister.
Get help from your GP for the anxiety.
