RE16's STOMACH ISSUES Experience
Oh No
STOMACH ISSUES
I have had stomach issues ever since chemo in 99, they relented for time then returned after chemo in 07. I have been told after much testing that I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) I had an ultrasound, endoscopy and colonoscopy so I accepted that that must be my problem. Well in July my tummy got worse and remained worse for 8 weeks. I went back to the doc to they did a CT scan (clear) then an MRI (not so clear). It turned out that my gall bladder was going bad on me. Long story short I had it removed several weeks ago (surgery #11) and had instant relief. I had to wait 5 days for pathology to let me know if it was cancer related, happily it was not. I know many of us instantly worry that anything that goes awry may well be cancer so it is always such a great relief when it is not!
