Hi I'm Charlie I'm 22
Been having flat stools with blood occasionally,quite bad stomach pain feels just like trapped wind tho but hurts when I move,really scared it cancer
Had a private consontation yesterday the doctor was really nice and very knowledgable,well he should epsically at £250 for a 15 minute chat he's resured me that cancer is not even in the question but obv can't say 100 percent u till he sees but said he would be extremely surspised
So I've got a colonoscopy booked next Friday and I'm scared,doesn't sound like a nice op,can anybody comment on there experience thanks
Hi Charliee, Ive had a colonoscopy and whilst it's initially "uncomfortable" as they insert the camera but after that it's no problem. I can say it was painless. If the consultant is certain it's not cancer then hang on to his words.
You will be okay.

I agree with Neil, very sound advice . I had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy .
No cancer albeit a thickening of the ileo caecal valve that required no treatentas gave no cause for concern.
Take care and we will be thinking of you best to get it over and done with. Easy words I know but we all worry about having any investigation to be honest.
You will be alright.
