Colonoscopy Confidence - Lesley's story

Hear about Lesley's experiences of having a colonoscopy. We know some people feel anxious or worried when they're told they need a colonoscopy but it's important to have this test if you're referred.
You can find out more about going for a colonoscopy and the Colonoscopy Confidence campaign here: www.bowelcanceruk.org.uk/colo...

Bravo to you. I had no signs, colonoscopy found cancer. Everything kicked into gear for treatments, and I'm, for now, and hopefully for quite some time, alive and well :-).

Told it wouldn't hurt. I was given something so I wasn't totally awake. It wore off and I was in such pain. Nurse said it's okay and I said NO it isn't. Reluctantly they gave me some more medicine. After that, I decided never to have one again.
