Newbie - The condemned woman ate a hearty meal

[Guest guest]

Good morning to all of you. I've been lurking for about two weeks and

hope you can answer a question for me.

..

I was due for a colonoscopy in September as I am in the high risk group

and my last was six years ago. Then failed my June hemoccult test so

will go for my colonoscopy Wed. am.

..

Couldn't deal with the gallon of " drink " that made me so sick and

shaking violently with cold last time, and Dr. wouldn't hear of the prep

with less drink and pills, so am doing the Fleet 2 Prep kit...2 days of

starvation plus the time until I feel like eating late Wed.

..

So I was up at 4:30am having coffee, juice, 1/2 an onion bagel with

cream cheese, a small but extremely flavorful peach from my own tree and

a four-ounce grilled chicken breast. Amazing how good food can taste

when you're getting ready to starve for a couple of days.

..

Now for my question -- I'm seeking the name of a pathologist who is an

expert in detecting and staging colorectal cancer -- someone who has

given a second opinion for a group member.

..

Although this seems premature, if any biopsy tissue is found, I'm

adamantly against having the pathology dept at our local hospital

involved. After the huge error they made with husband's prostate cancer

biopsy, resulting in treatment that included surgery, radiation and

androgen deprivation instead of one of the above, I have absolutely no

confidence in a benign or malignant reading from them!

..

Hope I won't need to use this info, but want to be ready just in case.

Planning to spend these two days painting the kitchen cabinets Sea

Reflections blue -- the insert panels are wallpapered with tiny

blue/gray pineapples on a white background. Had originally planned to

wallpaper the bathroom but on second thought decided to stay far from

the bathroom as long as possible.

..

Thanks for your help...Leah
