blood count /colonoscopy

have felt dizzy for moncolonths ,finally plucked up courage to see GP. Blood count came back low, so had to do a stool fit test. That came back positive, now I have to have colonoscopy.

I am going out of my mind with worry. Frightened to death it's the big C. Dr really worried me telling me what it might be. I am in my late70 s. So not looking good .

Anyone else gone through this, with positive results.

Hi

I've seen this happen that the test was positive and the colonoscopy negative. It's hard to think positive, I would be feeling the same as you.

When is your procedure?

Recently, one of my batchmates had to get a colonoscopy after facing rectal bleeding for months. The doctors have to be explicit in that way just so that the patient is mentally prepared. She also had a family history of colorectal cancer. But her colonoscopy showed no abnormal growth, just some ulceration. Don't worry too much, medical technology has made unbelievable advancements and you will be absolutely fine. Sending love and good energy your way. 💞

Blood in stool is very common, and can come from multiple reasons. I freaked, too, but all was well. Just part of getting older, I guess.
