I just got the results of the first set of biopsies that were taken during my colonoscopy a few weeks ago. 9 of the 10 that were taken came back positive for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The 10th showed something else but the GI has to look at them. His assistant told me the above info over the phone. She said that no cancer showed so at least that much was good news. My main concern is that so much of my colon is inflamed. The doctor said it looked like someone took a piece of sand paper to it. Will meds reduce the inflammation and keep it in check or is it bad that such a large area is affected. I'm scared of having to lose my colon. I had a catscan last week and they found something else in the top of my small intestines just below the stomach. I'm getting the scope down my throat tomorrow morning so they can look at it and get a biopsy. This is new to me still and I am all nerves which doesn't help the Crohn's either. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.
