Thetoad wrote:Thanks Maggie Neil. Good of you to reply. My colonoscopy is next Tuesday pm. I'm already watching what I eat. I will see my nurse next month, 11 months after the last appt. I do have some Lorazapam tablets to shut me up, but driving is not advised. They are two years old but should work if I had to take one. They were originally for dentist appts so I didn't throw up because of nerves! Yes, 72 year old kiwis are allowed to have nerves I guess. I've spoken by ph to the nurses at the clinic. They are reassuring and joke about 'bum fun!' Yes, well .... I'll try some of your techniques. I can't do a Haka unfortunately. I don't really know why I'm stressing over this, the last one was fine. It might be that if this one is clear, I can expect the next 11 months to be ok too, until the magic 5 years is reached. It's the waiting and wishing it was all over probably. I know I'm not alone in this, but others I have talked to who've had the same thing sometimes just take it in their stride. As you said, the worst was over 4 years ago. And so far, I've been ok with all the tests. Happy New Year to you and everyone!
Thetoad wrote:Thanks scared0304. It's this coming Tuesday, so a few more nervous days... Your polyp was pre cancerous and they removed it? So it's gone! I've read that they take about 10 years to become a problem. I'm the same as you, has something formed during the last three years? Highly unlikely they say. If they Do find something, it will be 'dealt with.' Keep in touch here, you're not alone!

Maybe the change of diet, I've been on low residue for a week now. Or maybe the different bile supply now my gallbladder is out. I'm sure I'll get some answers on Tuesday pm. Good luck to all. I'll be back!

One more sleep........what are you planning to wolf down afterwards? I would be up for a big plate of whitebait fritters, a dozen
tamarillos and a Caramello koala. Maybe two.

Still working on the menu. Bluff oysters wrapped by porterhouse steak comes to mind. Carpetbagger is it called? Last solid food by 10 am, then should lose a kg or two. Cheers!

How did it go, I assume when you say all good, they didn't find any polyps?

Hi. No polyps. All over very quickly. I was early and the one before me was late, so I took his place. Mild sedation and interesting to see my bowel on the screen, especially the join from surgery. No more planned. Feeling very relieved now. Eating lots after the starving. All the best to you!
