Firstly Boshly, I hope that you are progressing well and that the prognosis will be good.
Having just received the bowel screening result this morning and it coming back as abnormal, I was in a state of shock and panic. Having read this post and all the comments, it has made me feel a whole lot better. So its off to the hospital in Exeter on Tuesday for the briefing and I expect the examination will be pretty quick after that. Whatever the outcome you have made me feel more at ease and less nervous. Thanks TM.

Good luck Neil and I hope you don't need it. If you want to know anything about my experience feel free to post a question if you don't mind an open forum (I don't) or PM me anytime.
The whole thing about cancer these days is that caught early enough it can be be treated and even cured. I won't begin to hypothesise on your case as all options are open (as are they to everyone always!) but there are many many reasons for abnormal results and early diagnosis of any is the key.
I am indeed back at work since Wednesday last week, completely off all pain relief since Thursday and am awaiting my histology results expected late next week. Feeling good and strong, with the odd twitch and twinge, but ready for the next hurdle whatever it may be
Life will always put occasional hurdles in the way, so we just need to jump occasionally; if you see it early enough you just adjust your stride, increase your pace and ........ there you go, you're over it
All the best and keep us informed.
