Worried

Postby Catlover3 » Sat Aug 26, 2017 1:38 pm

Hello, I am 27 years old and I have a colonoscopy in 3 days. I am incredibly worried because I have had bleeding for 4 months that was diagnosed as hemorrhoids. I have had 3 bandings that failed. Occasionally my stool is normal but I am very concerned as the past 2 weeks have brought minor discomfort. Has anyone experienced this?

No matter someone has a same experience as what you have or not, it can not tell you anything regarding your diagnosis. Since you are going to have your colonoscopy in just a few days, you will know the results very soon anyway. Worry doesn't help any but will hurt your health. The worst results will be cancer which has been with you for at least quite a few years, it is not just something new. So don't let the uncertainty of tomorrow to ruin your time of today. Try to do something you enjoy to switch your attention. Or being with someone you enjoy being with. I hope this helps.
