I wouldn't be concerned. They probably just want to see what else is going on. Do you have Crohn's ? X

Since theu are being so slow, maybe you should get a second opinion. Let us know how you are.

Maybe they've just seen an area of inflammation that they want to check. Try not to worry too much.
Have you called and asked for your MRI results? X

Please try not to worry. They may have had a cancellation so were able to slot you in in the next available appointment which was 2 weeks time. You were aware you needed to have a colonoscopy even before the MRI right? Fistulas can be a symptom of Crohn's so it will be routine that you get scoped. I think you need to try and relax, what will be will be. Just try and get through it.

The good thing is about a colonoscopy is you can see what is going on so if there is inflammation you can see it there and then and don't need to wait weeks for the results (unless you have microscopic inflammation).

Hi Amac,

Worrying causes stress and stress is very bad for us. Try to think as positive as possible. If that doesn't help, try to find a way to take your mind off of health issues. I'm a natural born worrier as well and I find small little projects or reading helps me to calm down.


I wish you good health and positive thinking,

cmack
