Have you had a Colonoscopy??

Oh Patty, I got a shock when I read about your colonoscopy. My friend had the same thing happen to him, He had to see a specialist, and they did a follow-up colonoscopy, and he did have to large polyp removed with great success. He has to see the Doctor again in February next year. When I had mine done, they did find cancer in the small intestine, and I had an operation within 3 weeks. They did key-hole surgery, no pain and home in 4 days. Had a follow up colonoscopy and all clear and to see the Doctor in 3 years' time. Sending positive thoughts your way. 💞

Thanks for sharing your story. So if there IS cancer, having the polyps removed IS the answer . There’s no chemo therapy or radiation.?

Hi @PeppermintPatty, I had to log in quickly and add my good wishes to all the rest. I'm also sending you a bunch of hugs! You must be worried, and I wish I could alleviate some of that for you. I do think it's best that the original physician referred you to a specialist so the polyp removal could be done carefully given that it is wrapped around an artery, but I can imagine the wait is hellacious.

I'm sorry, too, that the procedure was painful for you.

I've been thinking of you and actually logged back in for the specific reason of checking for an update on this. (I'm too sad to be online much for the next few days.)

Again, I'm sending you lots of hugs and warm wishes. Please do keep us posted. 💜💜💜

Thanks KSav,
Yes I agree that if the doctor didn’t feel comfortable doing the surgery then he SHOULD recommend me to someone else. Absolutely. I’m actually glad he did that. I’m not happy about have ng to do this all over again but it IS what it IS and that’s what’s needed.

I will keep you posted when I find out more.
