What's it like to have a colonoscopy?
zhlédnutí 104Před měsícem

    Words cannot express what hellish experiences you have had to endure. My heart goes out to you and your family. I am at a loss for expressing adequately what I ought to say. I am not the same religion as you but I ask Allah to care for you, comfort you, and heal you dear one. Amen 💛

    Thank you for sharing with us. Being on the first rung of the ladder can be so daunting with the names of things, not understanding what is going to happen, fears and so forth. It took a lot of unselfish courage for you to share your own journey. God bless you and keep well. Wishing you a long, healthy and happy life now. Catherine.🛞

    Great video, very helpful! I didn't have bowel cancer, but I do have a stoma (had my surgery when I was 18) and I really appreciate the fact you included a story from a younger person. When I first got my stoma, I felt really out of place as there was no local support for people with stomas over 18 and under 50. I'm 20 now, and while it's taken a lot of getting used to but I love my stoma.

    I would not take the doctors word for anything. They assume that it’s only a minor thing and by the time they find out that it’s more serious a lot of times. It’s too late and this happens a lot of other illnesses too. You have to speak for yourself and that’s what I did when I went to the doctor for lump in my throat.

    I’m feeling very discouraged by the medical system here in the United States. I had extreme bleeding as well as a consistent cramp in my left side that won’t go away. I’m completely exhausted, I have iron deficiency and my bowels oscillate between being constipated and then on the other side of things. On the other side of things, I’m going five or six times a day. Pencil thin stool. I really genuinely am worried that something is going on however, nobody will take me seriously because of my age and because I’m a woman woman I’m going to keep pushing to get help, but it’s really discouraging.😊

    Thanks Phil, not for me but all the new folk to this. I had mine for eight months then a reversal. Here in Sydney we have a Stoma association which had a Zoom meeting monthly with lots of advise.They also supplied all the gear needed. All very daunting at first but one settles into a smooth routine quickly and it is then no big issue. Good luck to anyone having this. Cheers from Australia.............PS Mine was due to Acute Diverticulitis.

    You know something is wrong. You go to a doctor and they just fob you off. This needs to stop and they take patients concerns seriously. I had bad psoriasis. Year after year. GP after GP gave me rubbish steroid creams. I insisted on seeing a specialist. A trip to the hospital to see a dermatologist they prescribed me a cream and my psoriasis is gone.

    I find myself scanning CZcams videos now looking for answers. I stumbled across yours. I had my colonoscopy yesterday after my positive fit test of 400. It was a fast track through the Gp as I have quite severe anaemia, but no bleeding that is noticeable. I’m a bit sore in places after the colonoscopy as they took quite a few polyps for biopsy . I’m in limbo stage now, not quite knowing whether I’ve been lucky or not. I have seen your video I feel slightly more confident in the success rate of treating bowel cancer, so I can go forward with a slightly more positive outlook . Thank you
