Colonoscopy

Well, I have survived the big procedure with much help from the strong medication they gave me

The prep is way worse than the procedure and they even let me wear my shoes and AFO. They did remove a polyp which means that even if it is not cancer, I will be screened every year. Now that I know what to expect, this scares me much less than a mamogram.

 

I am now motivated to take care of my nice clean colon by eating lots of fibre and water and exercising regularly. I will get the results of the biopsy in a month. The doctor was not overly concerned and neither am I.

 

 

Getting old is for the birds. ''Am I getting wiser?''

The colonoscopy procedures scares me MUCH more than the mammogram...go figure. Why does the mammo scare you?

 

BTW...colon cancer runs in my family, not breast cancer so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. Plus the notion of medical procedures in my posterior is far more invasive than pictures of my breasts...I dunno!!

Congratulations! You know a man invented that test, right? LOl! Glad it turned out okay for you. I agree, the prep sucks and whoever named it "golitely" never had to drink a gallon of it. Take CAre!
