Had an EGD & colonoscopy Wednesday...first one in 2.5 yrs.

Doc did a biopsy of "suspicious spot" in my stomach, so awaiting that biopsy report. Had some oozing post biopsy, so she had to keep pressure on that area for a bit. I was back under anesthesia for 1.5 hrs instead of usual 45 min or so.

I am having paroxysmal pain in the ascending colon, just at splenic flexure ...so not sure what is going on. Doesn't require any pain meds. I am not worried, leaving it all in the Goddess's hands!

Have a beautiful Sunday everyone. Keep fighting & know I send you all positive energies & gentle hugs.

Clay, sending lots of positive thoughts and healing energy your way.

I like the sentiment `leaving it all in the Goddess`s hands` that has been my mantra of late.

The path report was benign! Whewww...been a long week!
I am still having pains in area of top of stomach/intestine area, so we will talk on the appointment the 15th of what to do next, investigatively. 1. To find why I am so anemic, 2. To find out source of pain....and a course of action. She said I may have to swallow a camera pill, so we can see all the way thru the GI tract! This procedure is a bit of a danger for me, due to a really large ventral hernia that if said camera were to get hung up, that is open abd surg....

So, again, we "wait & see"....

Pheww indeed. What a relief ! I know you still have a way to go, more concerns and issues to resolve but benign is a wonderful update. Stay strong my friend

It looks like it is back to chemo for my mom. We went in June and her CA125 was 15 and yesterday it was at 39. Next Wednesday they will do another CT scan and then we'll discuss what to do next. She has been on a break because they said she couldn't handle any more chemo. Yesterday they said because her cancer came back once before it will most likely be recurring. The oncologist said that just like some people take medicine for high blood pressure she will need chemo to treat cancer most likely until the end of her life. After leaving the hospital my mom said that it will probably kill her.

I just don't know anymore. I don't know what it means for either of us. Just when you think it's gone it rears it's ugly head and punches you right in the gut.
