Hi Dinah,
Your anxiety about the colonoscopy can be understood, and many people feel uneasy about this exam. After having it done, however, they admit it wasn't as they thought it would be.
Nowadays there is also a substitute known as a virtual colonoscopy, but if you have to do the regular one, you will be sedated and you won't feel the test or remember it.
It is important to have your problem diagnosed and treated. Try not to worry about it, though I know it's easier said than done.
I hope you feel better,
Whirl.
