One month later, still waiting for a colonoscopy.

can’t wait because my poop are more bizzaroïd every day. Still have pain at pressure on the left bottom side ( sigmoïd?).

Someone did had this kind of poop?

Whoa ... what are they saying when you call about it? Abdominal pain. It's been over a month. Perhaps call the doctor's office and work it from there?

Doc ask for a priority colono less then two months. In Quebec, Canada, it can take more than one year if you are not prioritized to get a colono. So, I still wait. Found some kind of stuff in my poop. I think that might be some piece of indigested aliment. How long in your country does it take usually to get colonoscopies?

You should be prioritized 👍💪👍. I’m in the US. My non urgent surveillance colonoscopy that I get annually is usually 2 weeks out. I’ve had many urgent needs when I was in treatment and those were a couple of days out.

Maybe these groups can help get that colonoscopy appointment moved up?

Still no....And last I heard I wasn't even on the wait list because my doc filled the form out wrong in September. It's been a total nightmare trying to get this colonoscopy. What city are you in?
