Sigmoidoscopy

Hi all, 

So I posted a few weeks ago following a meltdown at my MRI appointment. When I arrived all ready to go, the scanner had broken down. That was something out of anyone’s control.

I moved on and got my MRI a week later. Good news is the tumour has shrunk in size. However I still require surgery to remove it all and some lymph nodes.

I had an appointment with the surgeon last week and he requested a Sigmoidoscopy. Fine I’ve had one before, so I knew what to expect.

This is where I must be jinxed…. I arrived at my appointment and I was told following a discussion with the endoscopy specialist that she was unable to complete the procedure. Not again, this time they said that I had been booked into an outsource unit and they had insufficient information to complete it.

This is the final procedure I require and surgery is supposed to be after this. The only good thing about it was I didn’t have Bowel prep, just low fibre diet.

I am now waiting to be referred back to the NHS trust managing my care plan.

Never mind I seem to be getting used to this now.

Thanks for reading
