After the months of symptoms, pain and bleeding followed by the long wait for a colonoscopy and then finally procedure itself, I’ve made an appointment with my GP to discuss what next.

It’s difficult to explain how frustrating this all is and how close to tears I am, so often at the moment.  Having constant pain, worry about unexplained bleeding and feeling nauseous continually is no fun.  Although I know it’s not as bad as so many people live with their whole lives, I’m finding it increasingly difficult to do anything.

My appointment with the GP today had me in tears.  I’m frustrated, angry at delays and worried.  As the bleeding is now not only from my bottom, they’re going to send me for an ultrasound of my abdomen to see if they can see anything there.
