Hello. Yes, I ended up with 2 EUSs since the first one they didn’t take biopsies and the second they did. Thankfully they found normal tissue in the biopsies and I seem to still be trying to heal. The sad thing is that I had just gotten to where I could eat normal again but after the biopsies, I went back to having issues and still do. I think I’ll have to put my foot down better next time because every time I am almost healed, another treatment or check leaves my quality of life worse off. They’re wanting me to return in august I believe but can’t imagine doing more biopsies then already since I’m back to having issues plus it feels they’re leading me to have to have a permanent colostomy simply from all the procedures. Not feeling that it’s worth it! Maybe I’ll request checks without biopsies at least for the near future.

Thanks for the update, @amariewilkinson,

I am glad to hear that your biopsies showed normal tissue. How difficult that you are bothered again with problems eating. I'm sure that is discouraging.

I hope that you are able to make a decision at your August appointment that works well for you. I can understand your hesitancy to have more biopsies that lead to problems eating.

Do you lose weight as a result of these procedures?
