I'm having a colonoscopy on Saturday

And I'm bricking it. Went to the GP with some bleeding from my back passage, she was lovely and referred me and appointment is Saturday. I was ok about it until I got the pack on Saturday and now I'm borderline panicking I'm going to be told I have cancer and be dead in a year (which unfortunately happened to someone I know who was almost the exact age I am now (39)).

Blood tests were all ok btw and nothing immediately sprung out, no pain no weight loss just some bleeding, but like I say I'm panicking.

Can anyone offer me any advice on what the actual procedure is like or even just a handhold please?

Oh, and forgot to add - I would have ignored it myself but it lasted nearly two weeks with significant bleeding so I started to worry.
