baileys_mum Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'm due to go for one tomorow and am a little apprehensive. Anyone been for one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I had a number of them a few years ago (they were trying to work out whether I had any of the associated secondaries that some people with my cancer get- thankfully I didn't have them) and the anticipation and Citramag were far worse than what actually happened. Don't fret about it- I didn't even have the sedative that they offered me, and it didn't really hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andco Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 there are no nerves in the colon so you wont feel anything other than a sense of discomfort. The preparations are worse than the procedure and it is quite interesting if you are able to see what's going on the screen they use to see the internal colon lining.

medusa Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I actually found it very interesting watching the screen, if only because it confirmed that everything was healthy and hunkydory (but then I'm the sort of person who asked to see their tumour after it was removed).

Shiesh Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I had one about 6 years ago - I found it quite interesting to watch things on the screen..very pink, like a new born mouse!! LOL!! I think that was how I saw it because my coil string was hanging out like a tail.. Just like a very OTT smear - nothing to worry about. Although the scraping and burning vinegar stuff they wipe you with is more uncomfortable than the norm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baileys_mum Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 The Klean prep stuff is the foulest tasting stuff I've ever had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
