Day 202- Wednesday
Manage to sleep quite well
just with the regular dash to the toilet! Not too hungry today but soo thirsty.
Keep thinking about sprite! Nervous about today. A little about the procedure
and a lot about the results. The first colonoscopy was done when I was ill and I
would have done anything to feel better so I was glad of the colonoscopy. This time
I am going in cold. Having it done with Dr W again though and she is lovely.
Mum wants to come in with me
whist they sedate me, which doesn’t take long. I am out with half the
injection! I wake up back in the cubicle with the job done. Not that I can
remember, but I then regularly ask mum what my blood pressure is and I keep
telling her to withdraw money from the ATM for me! Bizarre!
Anyway Dr W comes to tell me
the results and they are all good. The surgery site has healed well and the
rest of my colon is in excellent shape- no inflammation and no polyps. The primary
cancer is all gone! She thinks the abdominal pain I can get is due to scar
tissue on the outside of my colon. She tells me I don't need another
colonoscopy for 3 years but considering my cancer grew to that size and spread
within two years I am taking no chances. I inform her I will be back next year!
Matt picks us up with a huge
bunch of lovely flowers and some Ferrero Roche from his colleague. Off home for
a lime and sprite! And some more sleep- seriously snoozey! Meeting Holly for
dinner tonight to celebrate.
One problem area down, just
the liver to go.
