PP wishing you luck with the apptmts and hope you get the news you want again. Makes you think with all the health problems on the boards, lol, whether we would make half a dozen truly healthy people out of the lot of us lol At least we all understand each other's difficulties.

As my pal in the States says to me, be grateful you can just go along and get treatment, they have to find the money for anything they want checked out or done.

Sending you positive thoughts for your hospital appts.

I get all wound up when I have one, but as JJ said, we're grateful we live in a country where we have the facilities to hand.

Pauline and Julia, Thoughts are with you, and all the best.

My OH has to have colonoscopy 19th Dec. last one was 5years ago, He had polyps 11 years ago, and they like to keep a check. Used to be every 3 years, now 5.

Still best to know how things are.

Thanks for your kind thoughts Jean.

Julia, I hope all goes well for you. At least I don't have any "preparation" for the bladder examination. Thanks for your support.

OH had the camera bladder thingy 4 weeks ago and said it wasnt too uncomfortable.
Had the kidney flow test done last week and that wasnt bad either had a bit of a sore arm where they inserted the cannula for the radioactive stuff but he felt that was the worst test of the two

Snap Paulline - I'm having a Sigmoidoscopy (Colon) on Thuirsday, and whilst on the one hand I hope they do not find anything, on the other I do, as it would explain why I feel the way I do. I do not know which is the worse, the bowel cleansing preparation which I have to start tomorrow, or the actual procedure. Lucky me, I'm having Gall Stones out, hopefully next month.
Good Luck

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got 2 hospital appointments. One is tomorrow at 5.30 to have a camera look inside my bladder I know that you good folks have already said it's not too bad to have done, but still a bit anxious about it.

The next appointment is on Wednesday at 10.20, and that is my usual check up for the bone marrow problems. That is 3 months gone by. Think I've been feeling ok, but I always get cranked up before as I worry that things will be out of control again. Just need some PMA I know, and live up to my board name.

Will let you know how things go. Thanks for being good friends on here.
