Hi All,
I just thought I would vent before going out to get that wonderful Fleet Phosopho-soda. AACKK!!!! I had two incidents of rectal bleeding so the Doc scheduled the test. I am petrified they will find something. I am one month away from 2 years cancer-free. Wish me luck!

Thanks,
Taunya

    Dear Taunya
    Good luck to you. That stuff is nasty I found that flat Sprite was my drink of choice afterwards. Here's hoping for good test results.

    Good luck, Taunya!!! I know it's scary after you had cancer, to go for a colonoscopy, but don't worry until it's done. Concentrate on the hard part of cleansing and going through it, it's so hard. Good luck again and best wishes, hope it's nothing.

    Hi Taunya -
    Good luck tomorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Maybe they will just find some hemorrhoids!!

    At least they didn't prescribed the "go lightly" stuff to clean you out. I found that to be far worse!!

    Both are tirrible, but I remember trying to get "Go-litely" down all day long, it was awful, I hope I don't have to do that again. But, on the other hand, I vomitied the fleet last time.

    Good luck tomorrow, Taunya!
