My doctor has me booked for a dual colonoscopy and endoscopy on Thursday. It all happened suddenly as the doctor was concerned about my ongoing weight loss and anemia. I can't think about anything but the procedure, I'm so scared of the prep, the process and the results. I keep picturing myself waking up in the recovery room and being told I have Cancer or a lifelong illness. It's a long weekend here and I had to cancel a vacation for this and I'm crying in my 30s, ill and waiting for a procedure while I should be living my life. A friend offered to stay with me during the prep and exam but I'm embarassed about having someone present for the prep in a small apartment, tbh. And it's such a big ask I hate being needy. If anyone's done the procedure I could use some encouragement. Can't wait for it to be over.
