Ty,
The fact that they didn't find blood is a little reassuring. But, definitely get the colonoscopy. They just told me I had irritable bowel syndrome for 7 years, but I did have blood also. I just thought that was hemorroids.

I pray all will go well with you. I am glad you found this site. I have found it very helpful and uplifting. There are many fighters and survivors here. There are also many...like you, just looking for support before a test. We are all here for each other. Come back as often as you need with as many questions as you have.

We are just glad that you are getting a colonoscopy.

blessings,

Kino-

Michelle is right on. You are doing the right thing by getting the colonoscopy! And....you don't have to fear the procedure at all. When I had mine done, I did not remember one thing about it. The doctor talked to me during the procedure and I don't remember a thing he said. Please update us on this site to let us know how it went, ok? We would like to know the results.
