Blood on TP

[Balt]

Hello again.

Colonoscopy is on Monday, and I'm heading to the store now to buy the prep. Anxiety is up there. Got all my blood work back (cbc, c reactive, sedimentation rate, celiac) and aside from a slightly elevated blood glucose, everything is in line. Even my usual 'slightly elevated' liver enzyme was right in line. So that's a positive...but of course stuck on the negative since there's some stuff out there saying that a higher blood glucose could be indicative of CRC.

Anyway, just adding to the log here.

Good luck for today, please let us know how it goes.

Hello!

Just had the procedure. Easy as can be. Results are:
Single shallow ulcer which the doc said could've been caused by the prep.
Single sessile polyp of diminutive appearance.

When I had the quick consult with the doc after I said, "so do I need to worry about cancer" to which he quickly said "zero. zero chance." Of course I'll worry til the biopsy results come back, but that makes me feel pretty good. Should be good for 10 years or 5 if the results come back precancerous.

Just had a gigantic meal at McDonalds. I know it's garbage but it was maybe the greatest food I'd ever had.

That’s great news! I know you will worry about the results but I’m sure the Doctor is correct.

Thanks for letting us know how you got on. I don’t blame you for treating yourself to a McDonald’s!
