Oncologist will no longer see me because I'm not doing chemo

My oncologist said that she would send a note to my surgeon asking him to move up the colonoscopy so we could see if there's anything going on further up in the colon.

Re: So i did the scope today

All you can do is wait for the results of the biopsy. Polyp biopsies are quick to come back.

Thanks for the suggestion but I find enemas incredibly painful and try to avoid them at all costs.

Re: Hi, I'm new here.

Good luck with your colonoscopy keekee! It's hard not to get anxious before scans, colonoscopies and appointments. I'm going to get tested for Lynch Syndrome but I have to wait up to 18 months for genetic counseling and testing. I agree with ritz.

Re: Digestive system in overdrive

I don't want to do lax-a-day because the last time I took it I had an accident. I have vegetable chips with fiber and probiotic yogurt I could try.

Re: Digestive system in overdrive

When I have accidents it's usually just one episode of loose bowel movement and then just soft stools. I can't use metamucil because it causes too much bloating, cramping and gas. Same with dulcolax. I try to eat more fiber but eating too much causes bloating and gas too. Can I still have a blockage...

Digestive system in overdrive

My digestive system seemed to slow down for a while with very small bowel movements. Today, it's been in overdrive. I've had lots of bloating, gas,heartburn and cramping. I did have some probiotic yogurt earlier but it's never done this. I haven't been taking lax-a-day because when I took it Friday ...
