Hi everyone

thank you so much for your good wishes.

Well after that procedure I went to hospital for my treatment at 08:30. Welcomed by nurse and got ready.

went into theatre and met my consultant a very nice lady. After some examination she told me she couldn’t proceed and try to remove the offending polyp. Apparently I have a large polyp in one of my diverticulate involving 3/4 of the circumference and extending from 12cm to 18 cams from anal verge.

The outcome is I have to go into hospital for an operation which takes 2 plus hours. She said hopefully this can be done in approx 9 weeks depending on the coronavirus

So again playing the waiting game.

Awe bless you,all that prep you must have been through, and then to get told that, i hope your next operation date is not a long wait, i have my opp due next week, and as far as i know its going ahead, mine too will be a long one, but i dont want to know how long, its not a nice thought ,but fingers crossed ,i will be rid of the tumour, wishing you a better outcome next time, hugs to you x

Oh nan-nan my heart goes out to you. I am sure, like I was, you are worried in case it gets cancelled.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. Take great care in the meantime.
