So i did it, i paid to see a private consultant yesterday the one i originally saw in april last year. While appreciating he was extra lovely because I was paying i really think he understood and knew why I was back. Id written everything down from bleeding to back ache to the poor lady deborah james that has fulled my obsession that i have bowel cancer.
I explained the gp wont do anything more for me and quite rightly like he said they cant because of nhs guildlines but although he is confident that i dont have bowel cancer i have ibs and i dont need a colonoscopy medically for my own sanity he is requesting my gp refer me for one with him.
So now she is the key holder and its her decision. I'm hoping for the best and he seemed to think it would be ok. No sane person would put themselves through a colonoscopy i hear you say but clearly I'm not sane especially about this and dying leaving my baby without me. I'm waiting for cbt to cone through too. I said to him meny a time ive gobe away happy from a consultant but this timd i just cant. He thinks its because although i had the flexible sigmoidoscopy i know there is another one which can see everything.
He said as a consultant he doesn't like sigmoidoscopys if your going to go to all the trouble of doing one you might as well go abit further up and look at all the bowel, but its money. To have a colonoscopy privately is around 1500, i haven't got that sort of money.
So letter is going out next week and we'll see what my gp says.............
