Hi Baggiesfan1968, 

What a stressful time it must be for you and I can completely understand why you are feeling anxious. I am glad though that the ultrasound scan in February was normal and I hope that you can find out more soon about what is causing this aching pain just below the right side of your stomach. I hope that you won't have to wait too long for the colonoscopy and it's good that you are being fast tracked so that you get some definite answers sooner rather than later. You are right to keep positive though as there can be so many other explanations especially given you have had all these stomach surgeries, hernia and hopefully it will turn out to be nothing of concern. 

I am keeping everything tightly crossed for you. Unfortunately all you can do for now is wait which is the hardest thing and while you are waiting I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

Best wishes,

Hi Lucie

              Thanks for your reply the last three days I have been so stressed I think I have brought on my gastritis which I tend to get occasionally. I did go out on Wednesday evening too with my friend who is s vicar for a few beers and think maybe that did not help. I am very pessimistic so have always thought the worst case scenario. I just need to know the outcome soon because the stress is through the roof. I will keep you updated and thanks again
