Hi Angela, yes this time I got your message in my inbox. I’m glad you got your PET scan out of the way. I’m not too afraid of having mine done tomorrow - other than knowing what they are looking for (like you said). Monday will be rough getting the biopsy done, but at least they are putting me to sleep for it. I don’t know what the EGD and sigmoidoscopy is? Is that part of your regular check ups? I’m glad you have something fun planned with grand- daughter this weekend! Try to take things one day at a time. That’s what I’m trying to do. Otherwise just overwhelming.

Yes the signoscopy and the EDG is part of my regular yearly checkups. These are things that they do every year, because of the Lynch syndrome and because I don't have a colon they just have to go up and check that pouch and make sure there's no polyps or anything. It was over a year ago I had one, and I actually think the EDG may have been 3 years. But maybe not. I can't remember things anymore, because when they do it they put me under. I'm really glad you're getting your biopsy done right away though. I have to wait to get mine done because my pulmonary doctors out of the office all next week and I don't even meet with him until the 25th. But when my cancer doctor gets back on Tuesday he'll call me and then I'm going to find out what pulmonologist he wants me to go to. I'd rather go to someone that he recommends because I have an excellent oncologist. If he says to go with this guy I will but if he says that he'd rather have me see someone else I will. But I'm glad you're feeling positive or as good as you can feel about tomorrow because it's actually pretty relaxing there's nothing scary except for what they're looking for. I fell asleep in there although it wasn't peaceful. Haha but just keep a good attitude and try to have a nice weekend no matter what. But let me know how things go tomorrow!
