First round of biopsies...results August 4th--that's a long time. [View All]

He had to take loads of tissue from my esophagus for biopsy. He'll discuss the endoscopy with me on the 4th also. Pretty much all he said as I was coming to was "Everything has gotten much worse."

Then the camera pill. Then a biopsy of some tissue in my colon---and depending on what we see in the camera pill, maybe the small intestine.

So we're talking months of testing and waiting. This is just the first round.

Still trying not to speculate. All I know for sure is that I have GERD, a hiatal hernia, 3 ulcers in my esophagus, an esophageal ring, a disease indicator for the small intestine, a deformed valve at the ilium (sp?) and an ulcer in my colon.

Seems like there must be something larger at work to have all these problems throughout my whole digestive system.

Hate waiting for test results.... Hate waiting for test results.... Hate waiting for test results.... Hate waiting for test results....

So, la, la, la, la, la.... that's it. Just want to know what's wrong so we can make a plan and I can get better.

Then, could I possibly have a break?

Well, just thought I'd check in.
