Well my requested colonscopy was completed earlier today. Two areas I wanted him to check, and this time I felt the procedure, more than other times, even tho he had drugs in me but not as much, I am assuming and he had an assisstant watching, new gi I guess.
And as I have known for a while my right lower quadrant has more Ulcers spread since my last scope in January. The left side was clear but he says it is a spastic colon. So his answer was... either you take prednisone and keep it at 15mg, and take lots of Calcium, Vitamin D, to make up for thining of the bones from the pred. Or, surgery (number 3) so he told me to get my Gp to get another surgeon or specialist of his or my choice. Because of his retirement coming probably within a year, he gave me first heads up. My GP detest pred so, he will move fast on a referral... I hope.
My husband doesnt know yet, I thought I would tell you guys first , after all you guys are my family too. I was going to go for surgery last year but... I was in limbo of two doctors, trying to see and meet up and send me to either local gi or Toronto bound. I have taken every med available here and none work. Surgery is so scary for me... I better stop here. I ran my dogs when I got home and bawled my eyes out. Just trying to remember way back 18 years ago they were optimistic of a cure... bull. I know I will fight this too but right now I need to just think...Please dont say think positive cause I have been doing that for 20 years and I am still in the same boat.
Sorry, it is amazing what a day makes. Sorry to ramble.. just feel like I need a big hug from my hubby which wont happen til 2 weeks.
