I am having my 4th colonoscopy next week. Had Crohns for 12 years now . Before i had a baby with my wife , i was pretty relaxed going into a colonoscopy . I just hated the prep. Now that i have a baby ... the stakes are higher for me . I’m really nervous about my next colonoscopy. What if they find a polyp ? What if they find cancer ?
My symptoms are the same as when i had my colonscopy 3 years ago (which went well ... only minor inflammation was found ) .
I guess my question is , what is YOUR mindset going into a colonscopy ? Are you scared ? Nervous ? Positive ? I mean , I’m probably going to have them every 2 years moving forward , so I’d like to not be so nervous every time i have one ... maybe my mindset is off about this ...?
