I just missed my 1 year colonoscopy. Was supposed to be during the March break and I wasn’t able to get someone to chauffeur me. Hospital won’t allow you to leave by taxi.

I called the hospital and told them. They said they had a lot of cancellations but that I had to call the surgeon’s office.

So I called to rebook, and the receptionist said she had nothing available and that I have to wait. So, I’m waiting.

I had a CEA test done just before and the level was slightly lower than my last test, though I can’t remember offhand what the number was. I’m about 1 year and 3 weeks post LAR now.
