My mom lives 4 states away. I go and visit her 1nce a year, at least for the past few years. She was advised by her doctors a few years ago to have a colonoscopy and she did not. She calls me a few days ago crying and upset because she feels she doesn't have anyone to go with her, no one that cares about her, except my 80 year old grandmother, and she is scared that she will go into the office/hospital and "not come out". Her brother died a few years ago from internal bleeding, he went in and didn't come out, his problems were way worse than hers. Anyway, it is very difficult for me to get away from my life and responsibilities if my mom is freaking out for no reason. All the pages I've read on the internet don't seem too scary. Is she overeacting or could there be a big scare that could happen to her during the procedure that I should be there for?
