Terrified I have Chrones or bowel cancer

[Jenni855]

Thanks Matt. Bit worried as I just had the second sachet and had to use the loo immediately. Yet by now I would have thought it would be clear liquid going down the loo but TMI, it is still very dark. Worried the last sachet won't have any effect and will continue to stay the same colour. Don't want to be turned away tomorrow but there is nothing I can do. I am not going to the toilet as much as I thought either, been about 5-6 times. Like I say, if it doesn't turn clear, I just hope they don't send me away. Can't bear the thought of that :(

Mine never turned clear - it was a yellowy coloured water.

You still have a long way to go yet. What time is the appointment tomorrow?

[Jenni855]

Have to be there at 8AM. I have one sachet left, just hoping it turns yellow/clear by then. Drinking a lot of water and hoping that helps a bit.

[nomorepanic]

I really wouldn't worry about it - you will be well and truely cleared out by then.

Is your sister going with you?

Are you going to have sedation or try it without and watch it on the screen?

[Jenni855]

Do you think I will be? What do I do if it is still dark brown in the morning? It is coming out like water but thought by now the colour would have changed due to the lack of food in me.
Yes, she is coming with me. I am a total wimp so will be having sedation. I am too scared to look at the damage.

[nomorepanic]

Yes you will be. You still go along - they can still do it.

If you are only passing water then there are no more solids to come out.

I find it fascinating to watch so don't have any sedation as that would freak me out more.

You wouldn't even know what to look for to be honest.

[Jenni855]

Yes it is just like water, just need it to become lighter. Hopefully if it is liquid they will still do it.
My anxiety is so bad as to what they will find that I will worry myself if I see anything I think looks suspicious. I am sure it will be a total mess when they look. I just hope I don't do anything silly when sedated

[nomorepanic]

As I said they WILL still do it.

[Jenni855]

That's a relief. Now I just need to get through the procedure and get my diagnosis
