I don't want another ERCP right this second....

[Guest guest]

Had a great visit with the PCP today. I'd told the gastro that I did

not want another ERCP right now and he got fussy. I know he means well

but I'm totally burned out on tests at this time. PCP gave me the

gotta check for cancer sometimes lecture and then left it up to me,

bless his heart.I've just got to come back for more blood work. Do

y'all ever just get so you want to let things sit for a while? I've

got moderately good pain control (for the most part-last night was

terrible), my weight is holding OK (well, I lost eight pounds but that

was because I was on clears for while, no biggie)and I just want to

sit down and watch some movies and not think about anything!Denial,

burn out...?I know something else will go wrong, and for some strange

reason its easier on me to have stuff done during crisis than it is

during a lull....I just want to enjoy my lull. I know it won't last.

Hi Margaret - Sorry for butting-in on your coversation. But I told my doc NO

MORE ERCPs, too. Hey, it's not their body and they don't have to deal with

the repercussions, except maybe to present you with a larger bill. Good for

you you for telling him so!

Best Regards,

Jerry/NC
