I know I'm late, but I pray all goes or went well today. :hug:

So, Wiz, are you squeeeeeeky clean? Let us know how it went, K? :hug:

Hope your'e not too pooped to come back and update us WIZ!!

Hope all went well and your'e good for another 50 yrs.

Thanks Everybody for your well wishes and prayers! I'm home and had my morning oatmeal and pills, now getting ready for some leftover pasta for lunch. :p

You're all absolutely right, the prep was the worst, drinking all of that liquid plus the starving myself on the liquid diet.

My doctor was very good, the nurses too. I didn't feel a thing and didn't wake up until I'd been back in recovery for a half hour.

Doctor says I have a hiatial hernia so I'll be staying on the Nexium for that, also he removed a small polyp from the colon but said it looks totally benign. They'll check that at the lab then I'll know if my next test will be in 3 or 5 years from now.

I'm off to have my lunch now! :D Big hugs to all of you!!! :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

Very Happy to read that all went well.

Now fill up the stomach with all that it missed yesterday.


Jappy :hug:

My doctor does routine proctoscopys on me. And he has ordered barium enamas also. I will never have a barium enema again unless I am sedated!!!!!!!!

Glad the tests are 'behind you'.

I'm glad to hear everything went well and you are on the right medication. I have polyps too and have to have a colonoscopy every 2 years. Didn't have any the last time so now I can wait 3 years.

Everyone should have a colonoscopy and do not put it off. One of my closest friends died of colon cancer at the age of 54 in 1996. She had no idea until her appendix ruptured when she was 52 and that's when they found the cancer. They removed a large part of her colon and thought they caught it. She went through all the chemo and did so well for 2 years but it came back with a vengence in March of 1996 and it was everywhere and she died in April 1996.

I can still hear her voice when she would call me " Hey Becky, it's Carolyn, whatcha doin'?" I sure do miss her.

I'm so glad your scope went well Wiz, but I'm getting scared.

I go to see a new doctor on July 1st (we moved states), and I have to make an appt for a colonoscopy for my 1 year anniversary after having half my bowel removed in September.

I dare say it'll all go well, but my family members are all dying off from cancer now, and just because I beat it last year, doesn't mean this year will go well.

Sorry to hijack your thread Wiz, but it got me thinking about my upcoming appointment.

I'm so sorry for your stress, Anne. You are the positive exception in your family in more ways than one. Let good health and happy outcomes be another way you outshine the rest. Hugs to you! :hug:

Ooops! Sorry Wiz. Hugs to you, too! :hug:

Dear Koala,

I hope your test will go well. :hug::hug::hug: I hope they got all the cancer and that is the end of it. I'm scared of cancer too. DH's family members have all had it but him. I talk to him about having this or that checked all the time. I'm lucky that it doesn't run in my family very much, except that my half sister had breast cancer later in life, my niece has had cervical cancer and my Dad had leukemia for a short time before he died. He was 92 at the time though so hopefully it was just because of his other health problems that were piling up.

Keep us posted in regard to your test and we'll all send up some massive prayers for you Sweetie. :hug::hug::hug:
