It’s booked

Every two years or thereabouts since 2001 I have been having colonoscopies. No big deal. I go into an endoscopy centre, pay the approx $500 and in return get very gentle care, rather than going public. They don’t hurt me and every time the result is the same, a couple polyps, cut out, move on. I haven’t stressed or been anxious after the first one. This time around I have to keep telling myself to calm down. Honestly annoyed with myself. I know what to expect. BC trauma has a lot to answer for. Roll on Wednesday, I need to get it out of the way. 

@Blossom1961 Well done! Took me seven months after chemo finished... It's certainly not back to what it was; the Letrozole definitely impacts it.

Hope your visit was beneficial!

Take care

Psych was brilliant but horrified at what some of my procedures entailed. She isn’t very good at hiding her shock 😁 I also finally have my bowel under control and working four months after active treatment and just in time for my colonoscopy! LOL 

Good on you @Blossom1961 - All the best!

Colonoscopies are fun, aren't they??   NOT!!

You are on your way as you have recognised a bit of help will go along way towards coping.
Take care and best wishes for your upcoming appointment

Well done @Blossom1961, i know it helped me a lot. Some things you just can't do on your own no matter how hard you try.

Thanks @kmakm. I was planning on a wait and see but the thought of another biopsy did me in even though I am not expecting to need one. Love didi xxx

Good on you M. May as well take the bull by the horns and deal with it. We can't always work this stuff out by ourselves. I know I can't so I'm seeing a psychologist. Big mindful hug! K xox
