I'm scared of having a colonoscopy for the very reason you stated in your third sentence. Praying for your best health.

How scary! Was this a routine check or did you have symptoms/issues? I am glad you caught it early. All the more reason to try to be healthy, so that when something like this comes up you are better prepared to fight it rather than having it become another issue on top of already present health issues. Keep us posted!

Thank you all for the well wishes. LostSun- I had some abdominal pain that started around the holidays so attributed it to my system not liking the food I was shoving in it. It continued after the holidays so I called for an appointment. While waiting 3 weeks to see my doctor I got a Colo-Rectal exam in the mail from my insurance company so I did that and it came back positive for blood in my stool although it wasn't visible to me. My doctor treated me for diverticulitis first but the CT scan didn't show any evidence of that so she sent me to a surgeon who set up the colonoscopy.

As a Nurse, it is so glad to hear that it was a caught at early stages. I know people don't like doing them but the Colo Rectal Exam Cards should be done yearly to detect any type of blood in the stool. Your surgery will go well sir......
