I’ve just received one of the home test kits. I wasn’t going to bother but your post has made me change my mind. Thank you OP, and best wishes. |

I had a colonoscopy about 10 years go - which showed two tiny polyps. Apparently they were so tiny - they didn't need removing.
After a few toilet related "PROBLEMS" and receiving the home test kit - I received the news no one really wants to hear. and was sent immediately for another colonoscopy.
I lost my mum to bowel cancer and my dad to bladder cancer - so the first thing my brain does is think negative.
However; research and treatments have improved so much more than they were when I lost my Mum in 1998 and my dad didn't get diagnosed until he was as stage 2 metastatic.
I'm due to go for surgery within the next 3 weeks with everything crossed (as you can imagine). Being low about it - i started my bucket list. crazy i know...but...
My advice to any one having toilet problems - no matter what age you are at... get checked out - do NOT hesitate. and make sure the Drs order a FIT test.
GET CHECKED WITHOUT DELAY - PLEASE! |

You may need to get your doctor to order another FIT test kit - They are only valid for a 14day window from receipt - apparently... (Just check with your Doc) |

I'm sure it feels scary but you will be in excellent hands. Do you know what surgical procedure you will be having, and have they firmed up a date for you? |

Just an update..
I had the small tumours removed via another colonoscopy... one was 6mm and the other was 13mm and needed "clipping".
Weeks have passed now. And I was sent for radiotherapy as a precautionary measure.
During the Radiographer strikes, I was sent to Sheffield for my Radio and a Scan. They recommended and suggested that I didn't need to go more than 10 courses and I finish my final course and have another scan next week.
During this time.. my world fell apart and I broke up with my FB..
Although.. 1 week later after openly discussing why.. we got back together and seem stronger than anything..
Anyway.. that's for another post.. lol
Life is for living.. !!
