Past Colon Cancer Patients Been Here Before? Posted: 05-13-07 13:05pm
I'll give you a brief rundown and maybe
someone can tell me if you've been where I
am.
First, I had blocked colon (signet) in Aug
2004 with resection. PET showed no spread.
Colonoscopy 4 months later with abnormal
(but not cancer) polyp removed.
Colonoscopy 10 mos later - clean.
Colonoscopy 8 mos later with abnormal (but
not cancer) polyp removed. That was 11
mos. ago.
Recently I started having constipation
again. No spontaneous movements but could
go with straining. Then I started symptoms
of gastritis - belching, fullness etc.
Doctor set up colonoscopy (much too far
away, of course) I felt I was getting
blocked again, so I went on liquid diet. I
just had an abdominal CT. It said no sign
of blockage. (But I don't know how good CT
is at picking that up). Doctor said eat
normal diet. Three days later - nothing.
I can't understand why I'm not going if
colon isn't blocked. And I don't want keep
eating if it is. I'm hoping to find
someone wth a similar experience.
