That was miserable.
That's all the news I have about it but I am feeling ever so much better emotionally. I really was afraid of colon cancer. I just didn't want to admit how afraid I was. Now watch me start obsessing about esophageal cancer! LOL.
Thanks for your support and prayers everyone. You are all so sweet and thoughtful. I will let you know what I find out about the biopsy.
By the way, how far up does a colonoscopy go? Are they able to go all the way into the small intestines too?
I'm on my way to Florida tomorrow so I don't even want to know what the test results are until I get back. I'm going to visit my Dad's grave and spend a couple of days on the beach. Then I need to get down to Arcadia and visit my mother who has Alzheimers. Life is just a bowl of fun these days. NOT!
Thanks again for your support.
Hugs to all of you! |
Im late in seeing this, But wanted to say Im glad all went well for you. Thats great. My mom has also had those same test done a few times. She is also anemic , eacjh time they find the problem thou these test and they fix her right up, she also has lost blood three times. The first time being so much they didnt know how she was still a live, the other two times was 2 pints and then 1/3 of a pint. The first time showed a blood vessel that needed sealed they did it right as they did those test, The 2 nd time was the same thing. The 3rd time just last week she had 2 unknown blood vesels types that was there but was doing nothing, and wasent sure why they was there, so the Dr cut one out and burnt the other.and they also did all this while doing the test. she also had a hemroid that had fell off and she didnt even know she had had one, But wanted to say shes 83 and shes feeling so much better now, she also is getting weekly iron through Iv once a week and something that helps build her red blood cells back up. I know the word but cant think of it . lol well Shes feeling great now that every things building back upi to normal. and I hope you get to feeling better too.
