Well mom had crc stage 2a with resection and chemo and praise God nothing new for 4 years. I had blood in stool 1 month ago. Went to GP who surprisingly said not to worry unless it persists- I thoroughly discussed all concerns etc but he didnt want to do anything. Well -I havent been feeling well and went to different Dr in same office on Monday. So without blinking an eye scheduled me for a colonoscopy tomorrow am and ordered a bunch of labs. He asked me did I know that crc can have a familial link- uh yes and I noted to dear dr that I told that to dr on last visit. Frustrating! Praying for good results.

Dear Susan

Hoping that the scope results are all good news, but so very glad you persisted.

Someone needs to take that first doctor aside and help him/her understand what is what.

Hugs,

update

Well- I got an all clear fom my colonoscopy this am. I am so relieved- finally told my mom tonight about whats been going on. I didn't want to tell her until I knew the results.
So I guess the first Dr was right -- but my concious is relieved knowing for sure!
