Get a colonoscopy!

Yay!!

I am incredibly angry & freaked out at the moment!! Shortish back story: husband diagnosed stage iv, also including a fistula between bowel & bladder. Fairly frequent uti's now, though the fistula is connected to the lower colon, below the colostomy. He was running a fever this past week &am...
