I had a appointment for a sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. I had rectal cancer and had surgery to remove the tumor so I ended up with a permanent colostomy stoma and a rectal stump.
The examination was through my stoma and anus which I was nervous about but I shouldn't have been.
The nurses who performed the procedure were excellent...they talked me through what was going to happen and were very gentle with me. I didn't feel a thing. The experience from I came into the hospital till it was complete was exemplary....I couldn't fault it.
"The experience was exemplary"
