Hi all,
Just an update- I had an endoscopy and the dr. said he found “lesions” and wants me on prescription Pepcid for 3 months. I do not remember even talking to the doc (propofol, haha). My friend was there to hear the info. The term lesion scares me, but my friend said he did not mention cancer at all. She said I even asked about cancer and he said no. So I researched it, and it seems like “lesion” can be another word for ulcer. If that’s the case.... maybe that’s the reason my CEA is hovering around 3.7 ish. I sure would like to know there is a non cancer reason. I’d love a low number in the 1 range, haha.
Also- just letting y’all know I have an umbilical hernia that showed up after my colectomy. Apparently that is a common complication. I’m having it repaired this Thursday. I’ve met my out of pocket maximum, so I figure- now the time! I’m told it’s easy peasy compared to the colectomy, but I’m still a bit nervous
