Cancer Survivors Network

Just wanted to keep you ladies updated in the latest 24242 health watch. It has been since Aug that I haven't been feeling that well. You know the drill wait a month and start the alert, bring it to doctors attention. Middle of Sep brought to my new doctor. Back to Cancer Clinic and pain specialist the only one who truly knows what I have been through. Not cancer, flaring up irritable bowl syndrom. Jan/02 still getting worse, more symptoms. Trip to specialist, IBS he still feels. Finally after not getting better they will agree not IBS, probably colitis. But you know we can't do anything till you have colonoscapy and biopsy the area.
March/02 the appointment, but infact just for another conceltation. This didn't sit well with me so I phone cancer clinic and pain specialist there. If a chance it is cancer, I said, we can't be waiting. She got me into procedure for next tuesday. What a relief.
The point to this post is to remind you to be your own advocate. We are the only ones who can ensure our health. Listen to your body, get things taken care of as they pop up don't deny the aches and pains we feel.
Another day of drinking crap bowl movers and clear liquids. I have had just about enough of all this testing, maybe we will finally get to the bottom of this pain in my side.
I will let you know what I find out should lknow by the end of the week or best case a couple of days.
Just another day in the my LIFE,
