I just received a call from the doc who performed my husband's recent colonoscopy. They removed quite a few polyps, and he says they are all highly suspicious of malignancy. He wants to repeat the procedure in 3 months - 3 MONTHS? How bout next week?

I'm terrified - he's my life.

May I ask for your prayers? Thank you.

Kathy

this must be so scary for you
still
I would imagine if the doc was very concerned tho, wouldnt they do immediate follow ups?

I will be praying for your husband and for you Kathy.

somehow i found myself in a place i've never been - i've only been on the RSD forum.

i'm so sorry for what you are going thru. i can only tell you this. my mom went to the dr. last week and she had a suspicious lump that they removed - when she came out, the dr. told her it was cancer (even before sending it off). she will have to do chemo, radiation or both. please know that i am not comparing situations at all, but like cheri said, if the dr.s were really concerned, they wouldn't let it go for 3 months.

i pray for peace for you and for your family.

shalom,

Thanks ((Chemar and Angie))

That's what I thought, but when I asked if this was truly serious, he said "Yes, that's why I want to stay on top of this and repeat the procedure in 3 months." He was kind enough to show a true concern in his voice, so I took him for his word.

Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the VA - he has no other insurance. I have to wait for the VA to call us for the appointment date. Hopefully, they can explain why they are waiting so long.

extra hugs incase i'm not back online for a few days. sending those prayers for both of you.

(and extra one so those dr's rethink waiting 3 months )

You've got my prayers, Kathy. I also want to tell you that in 1968 my dad suffered major colon cancer and had a successful surgery. He'll be 85 in two weeks and I can't keep up with him.
