colonoscopy starring Captain Poopy Pants, 37 yr old colon cancer survivor
I'm a 37 yr old colon cancer survivor. This is my 3rd colonoscopy in 2 years. 2 times they found colon cancer. I was treated with Xeloda (oral chemo) so was ...
I was later told that the lesions had to be removed surgically and that I
will possibly have to have 2 surgeries to remove them all. I was then told
by the surgeon that there is a high probability that I will have anal
cancer. He said that since I was so proactive in getting checked out, that
if it is anal cancer, it is very early and near 100% curable. I really
encourage people to get checked even it is something benign, it is better
to safe than sorry.
let me start off by saying, I wish you lots of luck and hope your
colonoscopy comes back clear :) I was given Fentanyl and another
medication. It knocked me down pretty good, but during the procedure I felt
the air which caused cramping. They did give me a little more medicine
which eventually knocked me out but I was able to stay awake through most
of the procedure even watching them perform a polyectomy! Please let me
know how it turns out for you!
I'm very nervous for my colonoscopy on Thursday (I'm 21 and have digestive
problems, so they're checking for Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis). Thanks for
a very informative video. I do have a question, because in your video you
said you experienced discomfort- but other people say they don't even
remember the procedure or feel anything. Is that because you had a
different medication?
I opted for the osmoprep pills rather than drink the dreaded solution. I
just had to take 4 pills every 15 minutes with 8 ounces of water. You do
this for an hour, so you take 20 pills in an hour. Then the morning of the
procedure you take the rest of the pills until they are gone. They did not
make me feel sick or hurt my stomach.
I didn't get sick from the prep..One thing that helped was drinking it fast
like a shot...get it down...tastes like water with a ton of salt..yuck! It
took appx 2 hrs for it to work on me...but when it did, it did! It does
depend on the person how they feel. Pls dont be nervous..this test could
potentially save your life :)
i'm 25 and getting my 2nd colonoscopy on monday. my first one was 11 years
ago. i have to drink suprep. i heard it makes you very nauseated. my aunt
had to drink it and she said she was sick at both ends. that didn't make me
feel any better about the whole situation haha. i hope i survive.
Polyps are tricky. Some GI doctors will tell u they found polyps that
looked cancerous. Others just say, "We'll send them off for a biopsy and
let you know your results in 2 weeks!" Does he have IBS? Bowel issues?
Please keep me informed! I've got my fingers crossed!!!
I wish you luck and hang in there, these things can happen to anyone at any
age. there must have been a reason why they are making you get this done so
I hope everything is taken care of as needed. best to catch anything early
too. thoughts are with you.
Everyone should see and know this. And everyone who watches the video
should read the book "The China Study" and Food Revolution this will
answers a lot of questions in regards to cancer. Both of these books will
blow your mind!!
Bless your heart. I am so glad that there wasn't any cancerous lesions. I
am getting my first colon scope this Wednesday the 24th. I'm scared. I have
diverticulosis. Thankyou for this informative vid. hugs, Chris
Did you get extremely nauseous as a side effect from the prep stuff you had
to drink? or does it depend on the person? Im having a colonoscopy in
october and Im scared to death of vomiting from that crap..Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I'm going in, in a couple of days. I'm also scared as
Hell. For your IBS, try peppermint gel caps. They really, really help. Just
follow the directions on the bottle.
For starters, I'm so glad ur going in to get checked. The soluion made me a
little sick but nothing major. Everyone is different but I don't think
you'll puke...good luck
My dr scared me half to death when he told me NOT to put crystal light in
the go-lightly...I sure wish I hadn't listened..having chasers didn't help
much.
