1st post-dx colonoscopy - all good!

I had my first post-diagnosis colonoscopy yesterday (3 years post-diagnosis) and was relieved that everything is clear. My primary tumor was appendix, and despite having a resection/hemicolectomy, my drs didn't want to do a colonoscopy any sooner than this. I'd had a clean one 6 weeks before my diagnosis, which was during a hysterectomy.

I had minimal sedation, and watched the whole thing - fascinating, especially seeing how my colon differs from an intact colon. There is no cecum, no opening to the appendix, as that part of the colon was removed, and I could see how it was attached to the small intestine. I also saw the scar from the reattachment where another segment of my colon was removed. All very pink and smooth, not gross or disgusting.

Most important - no irregularities found (small diverticulosis, some minor hemmerhoids. Breathing freely again (at least until my CAT scans on the 26th; I get the results the same day.)

A side note: the Movi-Prep that I had wasn't bad; not too salty (but not a taste I would choose to drink), and caused no cramping, just standard running. It's a PEG prep.

Yay for good news! (And frustrated that Chat is still down - can't share actively!)
