    I am new to your vids, and you just made a statement on this one that I have said myself so many times: "The mind is a powerful thing!" I too had a cancer scare two years ago, in my mouth, above my front tooth, My situation was rare also, although I am a senior citizen. I had, and still have to psych myself up, and remember that I am not dead, I am not dying yet, I have today, and I need to try to stop worrying about the future, and enjoy today. So far, my tests have all been good. I too had to have what my surgeon described as "a big surgery for a very small place,' but he wanted to make sure I was healed. You are so wise for your age; feeling sorry for yourself will not help:; channeling that inner strength and thinking positively is the best medicine, You go, girl!

    I just know you are going to be fine. Everything is scary when you are this close post surgery. I have my next colonoscopy Jan 5. I have told you mine is a non cancerous growth that keeps coming back. I really don’t want the illeostomy surgery when it can be removed with a colon scope. It could be a blockage but not as long as we stay ahead of it. I want you and your family to have a very nice Christmas!

    I’m so sorry about the bleeding!! I take it he felt it was post op inflammation or mucous? If he doesn’t feel the need to move up the colonoscopy, that sounds like it to me. I’m no doc tho. Still, it can be alarming for sure when that “shows up”!
    Have a very Merry Christmas Vanessa!! ❤️💚

    The bleeding could be a hemmroid… or… it could have a bit of colitis. Be careful w/ the amount of fiber you consume. I have my Mom
    Who passed some blood. Hers turned to be more serious than I’ll bet you’d is. I react to the harshness of the Prep gor Lower endoscopes, so I go the Mg Citrate way.. & lots of clear fluids… much more tolerable than the Prep. I lost do much/ many of my trace elements I was ice cold and almost feeling like I was walking dead! So this recipe worked for me!! Given by the GI MD……
    Wish you the best! You’ve been thru the worst of it!! Lots of love your way!!

    On May 19,2022, I had my ovarian cysts removed through Da Vinci surgery but they burned my butt so I woke up with a temporary colostomy. Fast forward to last wednesday July 13, my colostomy was reversed. It’s been a week but my stomach still hurts when I eat food. They stay in the “colostomy” area as if stoma is still there and i feel a kicking bumping sensation of them wanting to go out. Im taking ibuprofen for pain and gabapentin. It sucks 😩 my tummy hurts right now i feel like i wanna poop but there’s nothing to poop so idk

      I need a colonoscopy again very badly but my first one I was so traumatized by having to drink that prep stuff. I know I wouldn't be able to even get it past my lips.. I asked for the pills last time but the gastro dr said they don't do pills anymore. I have not gone back. If I had a Dr that let me have the pills I would have gladly gotten another. Now with Covid and such I don't want to go to hospitals or dr.. I know I have to get over it but only if I can find a Dr on my insurance thst I would do the pills instead I wouldn't be to hesitant..
      glad you got the pills and you are so BRAVE. I just happened to stumble into your channel when your journey started with the cancer and was happy to hear your doing so well.

      @@denben8530 It is my understanding that Su Tab (the pills Vanessa has) started being used in January 2021; in fact it wasn't covered by my insurance but they gave me a coupon; it ended up costing me $40.00. I'd ask dr again; it seems new to me. That drink is awful and if you don't mind swallowing pills (its about as big as a multi vitamin; very slippery) it is much more manageable.
