@kellye5 I am sure I speak as a group. We are so happy you are there today as well. May you be in the best hands... May the Drs. have the wisdom. You are in our thoughts today and always. Thank you for sharing that you are at your appointments today. I hope it is not too cold...

Hi friends. We have now been here almost a full week. It has been exhausting and busy but thorough and everyone is so kind. We are to fly out Sunday but have not followed up or gone over any tests with Dr M . Additionally, he wants J to have another colonoscopy and endoscopy which we have been on the cancellation list for days...our app. is a week from today. We would like to get home as this is not cheap but also we are here so would like to just get it done. Any thoughts...I have to change flights and extend hotel tomorrow if we stay. Feels strange going home with no plan.

Hi @kellye5.
It all sounds a very full on and intense week for you, especially your son. The preparation for colonoscopy is not easy and I find that in itself very draining. I would think if second colonoscopy can be done soon after the first one would mean less preparation required as colon will still be relatively clean.
It will be shame if you cannot extend stay to complete tests Dr M suggesting and then to have follow up appointment with him and get results and the treatment plan.

If you go home this weekend will you return for appointment you said is a week from today?
In that case I guess your son will not get to have second endo/colonoscopy ? Have they given you any indication when they can get your son on Dr M’s list if you were to stay?

Best Wishes
