Thank you all so much for your prayer , hope and good thoughts!
After the trip to the GI Clinic yesterday, I had a message to call my PC Doctor for MRI results!The MRI showed that both breast had benign cysts! Treatment? A mammogram in 1 year!WHEW! I dodged the bullet on that one!! Also, I got an A+ on the Colonoscopy !
As with all things it seems, there is some bad news. When I was in Flat Rock,NC for the wonderful Blue Ridge Bookfest recently and being given the royal treatment by my dear friend authorSherry Austin, I may have been given the best gift ever!A life saving gift! As Sherry and I sat on her beautiful screened porch gazing at my beloved mountains, we discussed my upcoming Colonoscopy. We also discussed my digestive problems. She told me I should have an Endoscopy at the same time to see about the digestive problems. I was a little hesitant at the thought since I had never had one and thought there was already enough dread of the Colonoscopy. In the long run she convinced me. I came back and consulted with my GI doctor and set it up. She was right, I never knew a thing about either procedure. During the Endoscopy it was discovered that there were two Gastric Polyps in my stomach. These show NO symptoms and are usually discovered by chance, during a procedure for other reasons as was my case. They are often malignant and the cause of stomach cancer. Dr. Farmer took biopsies of both. So now I wait again for results! But early detection is a lifesaver!
