[QUOTE="zaphod37, post: 1724717, member: 76674"] So, a couple of weeks ago I went to my GP feeling overly tired, short of breath and irritable. After the blood test, it was determined i was severely anemic with a count of 81/140. Off i was sent for a Gastroscopy which I had a week ago, this came back clear, so next on thelist was a Colonoscopy which I had yesterday. The wirst part was the prep, thank god for the advive of previous experience the baby wipes and sudocrem were needed. Anyhow, to cut a long story short, they found a growth at the start of the bowel (near the stomach end) which was too big to remove with the endoscope. Several biopsies were taken and a CT scan has been ordered for today (Tuesday) at 3pm I have a week to wait and see if it is cancer. Whatever the result I am in for a tough period of time. Please guys and girls, never ignore signs and symptoms no matter how trivial you think they are. They can remove polyps before they get too big and become cancerous, but they can only do this through screening. If your over 50, the consider screening. Take care guys. [/QUOTE]
