@jhhaas I would feel more comfortable with scans closer together. Hope that gets a thumbs up from your doctor. As far as the gastric, all the siblings in my family, including myself, had to have part of their intestinal track removed due to diverticulitis. I'm trying to find a good doctor to do a colonoscopy. Unitedhealthcare is denying access to some doctors here in Oregon. I thought it couldn't get any worse. I pay the highest premiums for the best care (?) I do wish I was back in Florida at times. I loved all of my doctors there. You have an excellent attitude. That's more than half of getting well faster most times.
