Here we go....in thirty minutes, I take the first dose of the godawful stuff that will turn my @$$ into a fire hose. 4:00 AM tomorrow morning, time for the second dose and then at 10:00 AM, it's showtime. While this may be a humiliating situation, a coworker who is a good friend had his first colonoscopy two weeks ago. He's 54. They hope that the tumor didn't get into his lymph nodes and that they will only have to remove a foot of his intestine. After that, he has to wear a colostomy bag for two months. Anybody ever had a colonoscopy? What the heck am I in for?
You know in the old days, they used to send up a sketch artist; be thankful It’s a good thing to do. Did it at 50. Said they didn’t want to see my a&$ for ten more years. They say prostate cancer is very treatable if caught early, you owe it to yourself and family to do it.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is worse than when I had Salmonella
Not to bad, prep is the worst, found my brain..................must of got stuck up there when I pulled my head out.
Just sit and read for the 2 hours u will need. Sent from my P027 using Tapatalk And use that little lever often
I have had two. I lost my sister to colon cancer. It's not that bad in the general medical world. Better to know. Ever had a cystoscopy? I'll take the colonoscopy any day.
Just don't worry about it....as long as it's healthy. Boy or girl, it doesn't matter! "This too, shall pass"
Heard a young person at work ask what a person needed to be in order to be a proctologist.... guess what I said....
Am I that old? Your only two years older than I am.... I didn't think they did those till we were old? I thought like 50 or something.... Keep us posted... hopefully alll tracks well through yours....
Golf66, you'll be fine. The prep is worse than the procedure. Wife had one done a few years back and doesn't even remember it being done. I'm next and not stressing about it. As long as the Dr. isn't Gandalf, it shall pass. ..or, the photos will look like someone used a 3/4" drill bit on a cucumber, lengthwise. Yeah, that wouldn't be good. (Ha!! Get that visual out of your head!!) You'll be fine, don't stress. Post the results, not the photos. Good luck.
Sorry about your sis. The cystoscopy is just a whole nother level of fear. Your gonna stick that where? I’ll never forget it.
Dose # 2 went down 30 minutes ago and ominous rumblings are beginning. I haven't had food since Sunday and am really hoping they don't find any polyps because you have to go on a restricted diet for a few days.
I've had 4 in the last 3 years. Prep is the worst part. They gas you and you never know they did anything. I had a polyp removed and didn't know the difference. No restricted diet afterwards. They pump air in during the procedure so you may have some discomfort and cramping during recovery. You'll be passing gas like a foghorn. The only time in your life when women will be telling you to let it rip. If cramping gets too bad, lay on your stomach with your butt in the air. Sounds ridiculous but it helps to move the air out.
