Hi there the last few weeks I have had bleeding when passing movements and in the movement. I went to GP today and she recommended an urgent colonoscopy within 2-4 weeks and I have to have bloods done on wednesday. Really stressed out about it I dont know what the rush is. Also really freaked out about the procedure itself she says I can have sedation and I had an endoscopy with it but I still fear something will go wrong with the sedation. Anyone had a colonoscopy before? Also I am worried of course it is cancer

Hi there

We have an entire sub-forum for colonoscopies so have a read in there as I replied to a few posts about it.

I have had one too.

Oh and I mean to add quickly that diverticular can cause bleeding as well.
