Asking for prayers and support. This is my routine exam, but I'm a little nervous with all of the gut issues I have had this year. Thanks for any support!

    I'm with you...
    I've got mine scheduled for 10/26/12. I was supposed to go 2 years ago when I was diagnosed with BC and my world turned upside down. I'm nervous because I've had all kinds of gut issues also.
    I wish us both a healthy colon!
    Hugs,

    Prayers...
    You'll be in my thoughts for a clean exam! I thank you for keeping the appointment, so many people put it off and its really one of the easiest of all. The prep is sometimes difficult but even that is not so bad these days. I was diagnosed with Stage3 Anal cancer just 1yr before my breast cancer. It was not discovered through a colonoscopy in my case, but maybe would have been had I made that appointment. As all too often, life was happening, and I tabled it, now I have not only no breasts but a colostomy bag! There are so many reasons for "gut issues", I will pray you find the answers to yours and that all goes well.

    Of course
    I will be on the bus. Glad you are getting it done, although I do not envy the prep! Hoping for the best for a clear scan.

    CC .. I am a little late in catching the bus, but
    I made it!!! Prep is nothing to get excited about (oh those memories), hoping,
    praying that all is 'clear' -- !!!

    Strength, Courage and HOPE for a Cure.
