Hello myLot!
I'm back from the doctor, and the one I saw (not my regular provider) said that the sonogram showed that I have a tiny benign cyst on my liver, but that's not what was causing my pain.
She sent me for blood test...

My daughter's been having digestive issues for a while. She says she has problems pooping, lots of discomfort, etc. They ran one series of tests using a radioactive liquid that she swallowed after which they scanned her. I don't...

I saw my doctor on the 24th to get my results for the MRI, Colonoscopy and Endoscopy.
MRI (brain scan) was fine. Thank goodness! Colonoscopy was fine! Endoscopy did show some inflammation. Some esophagus reflux? I'm still not...

I am happy that the Colonoscopy and Endoscopy are completed. I was very nervous about the whole thing. I was worried about the procedures itself but was worried for the results. I just kept on thinking that something had to be...

I'm sorry I'm still quite behind here. I will catch up as soon as I can.
Besides not being here for such a long time, this month has been really busy and stressful with tests. Not long ago I had the scary MRI and now today it's...

A heartfelt THANK YOU for all of the kind wishes as I endured the colonoscopy (more specifically, the prep). So….that’s that for three years.
Yes, it’s down to three now instead of five. “Thanks, Mom.”...

This time next week I’ll be in a really crappy mood.
I’ll be doing my colonoscopy prep.
Sure, it’s a joke. Who likes the colonoscopy prep? Well, masochists, I guess…but other than that…
This...

Let’s see….Miralax, Gatorade, apple juice, chicken broth, and lots of banana-flavored popsicles. Hmm…sounds like somebody got an appointment for a colonoscopy!
That’s next month, so you’ll excuse me if I have a...

I went to see a docotr for my belly problems. He was not vey interested in my IBS but as I took several results of colonoscopys I have had along the years, he did not like the polyps that appeared all the time.
He asked me if...

Hi all, I did put this out on social media as a sort of PSA - I know it has always comforted me when I know about things from people who have done them. So I figure it's sort of my duty if I can help encourage even one person to...

No, not the actual service that cleans out your sewers.
I turned 40 earlier this year and because my mom, her dad, his sister had colo-rectal cancer that puts me in a higher risk group. So I get to do the screening for the...

The invitation has nothing to do with my discussion, but the Ice Princess designed it herself and insisted the printer use pink and gold, her favorite colors. She is such a pip!
Anyway, I put off a colonoscopy during the...

Gosh I have been away much longer than I thought. Thank you to everyone for messages of concern and worry for me.
Initially I drifted away as there was very little traffic on Mylot, and in fact there still isn’t really. The...

Vince does almost all the cooking in our house and I always praise him lavishly a) because he is a great cook and b) because I hate cooking. I do cook from time to time and I also do all the cleaning up. However, he has refused to...

Test results came back today. It came back negative for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Which is a good thing.
They saw a little speck of something, but determined it was not anything, as of yet. They asked me if I...

I selfishly let it slip that I had a positive test on a Cologuard Colon Cancer Test.
When you have a positive feedback on the Cologuard test, you have to have a colonoscopy.
The prep for the test was a failure the first time, so...

No doubt, you've heard that expression where someone tells someone else that they are filled to capacity with fecal material. Heck, you've probably thought it about me!
So, how much, exactly, is full when you say...

Or, don’t believe everything they tell you.
Last night I reported what the registration person at the hospital told me my portion of the bill would be.
Thinking that was a little (okay, a LOT) steep, I called one company...

Something tells me I wasted money yesterday when I bought my colonoscopy prep material.
I went by the hospital today (since I was in the neighborhood, it was raining, and they have an indoor walking track between the buildings)...
