As Dr.
McConnell said, I have a beautiful colon that looks perfectly normal. Who ever
thought those words would be so wonderful to hear. Colonoscopy went well - prep
wasn't as bad as it could have been (thank you, pills) and the test itself was
done in 15 minutes. The hardest part was sitting in the waiting room for an
hour, craving coffee and a pain killer for the massive headache.
Ironically, I had the same intake nurse and colonoscopy nurse, which was funny. They remembered Levi for his funny stories from last time, which was oddly comforting. Dr M said all looks well and (patting myself on the back) I look healthy and fit. Wow - those words have NEVER been said to me. LOL!
And, while I was in the procedure, Dr. Ondreyco's office called, and gave me the results of my bloodwork. CEA is at 1.1 (I think - either 1.1 or 1.3.....either way, good news) and I am pretty sure that number went down from my April tests; the rest of my bloodwork is also within normal limits.
Awesome.
So, barring any major issues that I can't foresee, I am still well within remission, and the doctor's appointment with Dr O on Thursday is just a formality. Which is fine with me.
Thus, I keep my cancer ass-kicker title, and I can keep on living life.
Sweet.
