Recalled after bowel screening sample.
I was informed by telephone 5 days later that there was blood in poo sample. Another telephone call a few days later explained what would happen next, the nurse was really lovely and took time to explain the process. The laxitives were posted out. I took them chilled with diluting orange which helped. There is also a sheet sent out advising on which foods to eat. I found that helpful.
Within days I was in for a colonoscopy. You are given a gown and shorts, the shorts open at the back so you have some dignity. I opted for seditive which was the right decision. I felt no pain and it was over rather quickly.
Endoscopist was Dr Wilson. I felt Dr Wilson was caring, professional and efficient. Absolutely excellent doctor.
Dr Wilson took time to explain the process to me and was patient with me, asking if I understood what would be happening and if I had any questions. Dr Wilson put me at ease and I felt safe and that I could trust him. I felt this really helped me. I am so grateful to him for spending the time with me it really helped me when I went in for colonoscopy..
"Caring, professional and efficient"
