Something that might have been easy to take care of early became serious.
You have a lot going on; hopefully this new hospital will provide you with some answers.

Gerry I'm grateful to you for warning me not to be too laid back. I've been pushing for a colonoscopy for about five months but it's taken this long to get there. I have this procedure on 30th of this month. I know something isn't right at all because I'm hugely bloated and uncomfortable. Fingers crossed its something easy to address or IBS. The GP felt it was unlikely for someone over 50 to develop IBS but I've had lots of stress recently. My main fear us Multiple Myeloma because it is incurable. However it would explain the SFN and my wonky markers. Mat
