Hi,
I posted a few weeks ago of my fear about symptoms and an upcoming Endoscopy and Colonoscopy.
I had both earlier this week and I was told that everything appeared fine apart from gastritis in stomach (biopsy taken)
I also had a subsequent CT scan on abdomen and pelvis that same afternoon but I have heard nothing on the results of that.
I am just after receiving a call from the hospital saying that consultant has referred me for a barium swallow and did I wish to book it.
Now I am really scared- Why would he have done this? I thought the gastroscopy would have been more accurate than a barium swallow? Or would it be because he saw something else on the CT scan?
I feel so so scared now (the relief was very short lived!)
I would be so grateful if anyone has any info or insight into this.
Thank you,
Fee
Hi Fee
I also think the medical professionals are looking at all avenues to rule out anything that may have been missed. It is often easier to fear the worse rather than accept positive process as a good thing, and in fearing the worst we make ourselves more scared, but then, as we adjust and accept that whatever happens next, we should have all the answers, good or bad, we become calmer.
I do hope you are feeling a little calmer and that very soon you will have all the answers you need, but mostly when you get those answers they will be positive for you.
Take care of yourself.
