Colon cancer hits home
Hi Dunelover,
So thankful that you're progressing, so well!
I too, have had many tests to get to the bottom, of my health issues. I had an ultrasound which found two Hemangioma Cysts, in my liver, CAT Scan found nothing significant, Colonoscopy found numerous Diverticulosis on each side of abdomen and getting ready for Laproscopic exploratory surgery, cause I know that they're missing, something! Been there, done that, RE: female issues in the late '90's! Sometimes, we have to fire a few physicians and not listen, when WE know our bodies! As tiring as it is, we just have to keep pursuing answers, when others can't seem, to find them!

Thanks so much...I am finally starting to relax a little and enjoy the news.
I am going to make a point of meeting some of you when I am in town next. You guys have a great community spirit.
Diane---Keep us posted on your surgery. I hope the get to the bottom of your issues. You are so right...we are our own advocates. We are in control of our healthcare. Thank goodness for the ease of the internet to help us learn more about our options. Good luck to you...Hi Dunelover,

If it hadn't been for dunelover, I probably would never have had my first colonoscopy. Mr. JR will be scheduled for his soon too. Folks, it's a simple test - one of the easiest to do.
Thank you dunelover.
SoWal friends are wonderful, aren't they?
Dunelover - so glad to hear the news, and thank you very much!
You guys are all so sweet....
Amy, thanks for your offer. It was incredibly generous and we may give you a call. Pm me if you have questions about symptoms.
Anyone thinking about a scope, it really is easy....The prep is the worst part. Screening really should be much earlier than 50, maybe someday we will get that changed.
Thanks again......
We're hoping to come in early May, maybe we will meet some of you then.
Hey Dunelover, glad you are disease free.
I am having my colonoscopy this Friday, been 3 years since my last one. I have been a bundle of nerves this past 3 weeks, I hate the prep, two bottles of magnesium citrate and 3 Dulcolax, yuck! And unfortunately, I have been in what I think is a mild flareup of my UC, which he will be able to see when he does my colonoscopy Friday.I do have 3 of your symptoms you mentioned quite often, one of which is gas, and do mention this to my doctor and he thinks nothing of this apparently. I've been seeing my gastro doctor since 1986, every year, about twice a year, and I call and go in extra times when necessary for a flareup, so I'm watched pretty closely.
