I 39f will get my first colonoscopy next month. I just need someone to help me stay calm. I just feel like it’s going to be the worst outcome.
I’ve been bleeding for a little over 7 months now. My stool has been, pencil thin at times, sometimes I don’t even use the restroom for days, there’s blood in my stool every time I go (bright red atm) and for the most part I’m constipated. The other thing is that I’m in pain. My belly hurts when I go and that’s painful use the restroom too.
I don’t even know how to ask for help or advice. Im freaking out about the prep, it going to tear my insides apart and I hate being nauseous, the colonoscopy itself is scary because I’ve never been under sedation, so I don’t know what to expect. If it is bad news (cancer), do they tell you right away? Or do they wait?
I feel like May 20th is so far away and close at the same time. I’ve been having anxiety almost everyday. Please help me stay level headed and not get even more anxious… 😰
What are some tips you can give me to stay positive, or to let me know everything’s going to be okay. I would really appreciate it.
Thank you all in advance!
