Just got back from a visit to our daughter in Chester and there was a NHS letter waiting for the Missus.

Appointment for this Tuesday for a Sigmoidoscopy and Endoscopy all on the same day with CT Scan to follow in the next 2 weeks. Naturally she is suitably terrified as her GP has hit the fast track button after a visit last Thurday.

We are hoping its nothing too sinister. Oh the joys of old age.
 
Best wishes for her, there is never a good time for this, but it just seems so much worse when it happens at this time of year. Fingers crossed it's just a scare and it will help you appreciate even more what you have now.

Good Luck
 
Lets hope your doctor is being over cautious and playing it safe.
All the best for next week, and I hope you get good news.
 
Sounds like there's something they're uncertain about and nothing to worry about too much. Wait and see what they say on Tues.
Good luck.
 
Best wishes all is well, the spray is the worst bit as tastes of bannanas.

Ive had more endoscopys than id care to remember
 
Hope everything turns out ok for your wife mate:thumbs Know how you are feeling as going through the same (sort of) with my wife as she's in New Years eve for investigations of her stomach & bowl as there is a chance of the big C:(:banghead
 
I had the lower bowel camera job last week, seems I have piles:eek:.
Serve me right my mum always said when I was a lad, sitting on that frozen motor bike seat will give you piles:doh See Mums are always right
 
i'd like to mirror the lovely comments above, I hope everything is ok and as said, doctors just being cautious.
 
Hope all is well, but at the end of the day live life to the fullest and take what comes, there is not much you can do about it, a very merry Xmas to all, Rick
 
Thanks to all who posted

Thanks for all your words of support its been a real help to share it with someone as at present the wife quite understandably does not want to tell her elderly parents unless she has to.

Its fear of the unknown makes her think the worst. Once we have the diagnosis and can get a handle on it then we can come to terms with whatever it is.

I am hoping its something benign connected to having had her gal bladder out about 12 years ago. That operation was keyhole and went wrong in that she had a serious infection and was hospitaised four times over a twelve month period afterwards. Three admissions went as far as pre-med and into the operating theatre where the consultant decided not to open her up. Eventually a special course on injected antibiotics did the trick so not operating turned out to be the right decision.

I will post again when we have know the score luckily I am a "the glass is half full man" so am quite positive.

A Merry Christmas and great New Year to all our members.
 
All the best mate :thumb2

I'm sure it will all work out in the end and hopefully the doc is just being over cautious
 
Things are looking a little brighter so far

Well yesterday it was the Endoscopy & Sigmoidoscopy for the wife. They took a few biopsies during the procedures but nothing nasty seen so far just tests for collitus bacteria whilst they were in there so as to speak.

It was quite painful for her as she has multiple abdominal adhesions as a result of surgery some 30 years ago. The adhesions she has is something she has to live with as surgical intervension would cause them to spread even more extensively.(Its a common woman problem if they have had ovaries removed)

They have found she has a Hiatus Hernia but that is pretty common if you are over 50 and the symptoms are very manageable.

Final bit is the CT colonoscopy sometime early in the new year so we should soon know what the source of her pain is. Our house was much cheerier when we got home yesterday afternoon even though she was a little sore and gassed up.
 
That's great news & hopefully you's can relax a bit & enjoy Xmas:thumbs My Mother has had a Hiatus Hernia for years & know it's not very nice:(
