Hi there
I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy on Saturday .( I have had bowel changes , stomach pain and choking on food )
The colonoscopy came back clear of cancer for which I am so relieved but I have a redundant colon ( far too much colon than most people ) which is causing the change in bowel habits .
The endoscopy was awful I asked for sedation but they didnt give me much as they said they could only sedate me once I'd swallowed the camera ( I'm so claustrophobic ) it resulted In me trying to pull the scope out of my mouth so they then put some liquid into the Canula . I heard the doctor say " oh goodness there's a lot going on down there " and then I retched and they took the camera out.
The results they gave me were Polyps , biopsy and he said I have a red patch in my gullet .
I saw my GP today , she's given me Lanzoprazel for my heartburn and a wait of 6 weeks for biopsy results
If it is anything serious would they contact me sooner than that . I'm not a worrier but am a bit anxious about it
regards Lisa
