u/FrequentFix3

I (F25) was diagnosed with UC four weeks ago, and by standard procedure they take samples from your colon. I was called one week ago to be told that my tests had disappeared, so the tests were never analyzed. They told me that i could choose whether i wanted a new colonoscopy or not, but my doctor said it wasn’t really necessary because the UC was visible. Note: my medication is working.

I’m freaking out. 1. because the prep was horrible. 2. because what if there are cancerous cells or something? They do these tests for good reason, right?? 3. i’m afraid i’ll regret NOT doing it for my own sanity.

Anyway, i want advice on whether i should do this test again or not. Convince me or don’t convince me. Thanks!!
