Colonoscopy

[WestGorton]

I've had one a few years ago before an away match and I asked if the camera could get SKY. The nurse was a blue and said City aren't shitty. Very quick I thought.

I had one in January and was 43.

I was referred by my doctor and had it done within the week. I’ve not had a bill as of yet.

NHS treatment is all free.

this is what they did with my dad this week.

Hope your uncle is well!

Cheers mate, what have they said about your dad? Did they not mention his results either?

I had a sigmoidoscopy in September which diagnosed Divertcula, removed a polyp and the biopsy has come back as Tubular Adenoma with low grade dysplasia now have to go and have a Colonoscopy in Novemeber to check if anything else there, hopefully routine but still have those nagging feelings

I have had cameras both ends, twice. One where you have a little tube up your nose into your stomach for 48 hours to monitor reflux. Barium meal, just about most things to do with stomach problems. Amongst other things I also have Diverticula and have Diverticulosis and thankfully, have only have had one flare up where I have needed antibiotics since I was diagnosed about six years ago. I think my consultant, Prof Whorwhell, said it‘s a hereditary disease. My Mum had it, so has my sister.

was under the impression we had to pay for it if we fall under the age they recommend? like the all over body checks etc.

he's not told us what they've said which is a concern as he's been asking for our addresses for an updated will :(

Yes that’s why I’m concerned too no results just booked in for scan. I’m thinking they know the results so checking to see if it’s spread. Best wishes to your dad and family fingers crossed its not sinister mate.
