All ok
Just a quick update from my last post. The colonoscopy went fine and I don't have any polyps or cancer. So I'm coming on here to say yeah! I'm ok! :-)
We still don't know why I have this abdominal pain. My bloodwork from a few weeks ago showed elevated numbers for ovarian cancer and for bowel cancer. Ultrasound showed no issues with my ovaries and the colonoscopy showed no problems with my bowel. So we still don't have an answer. The next step will probably be a CT scan.
My familial risk for bowel cancer is 1 :8. But risk factors bear little relevance for me. Example: The bubster had a risk factor for Down Syndrome of 1 :4. We chose to not have the amnio. He does not have trisomy. Our daughter Imogen's suspected genetic condition occurs in 1 : 3,000,000. Yes, that is 6 zero's after that 3. The risk factor for having a baby die is about 1 :100. I could go on and on. We've all got a risk factor somewhere. The point is that none of us want to be that '1'. Today I wasn't. I'm grateful, very.

Good news! I'm happy for you...
But don't you know the odds are always so useful...(Where's the blinky when you need it?) I know I found them to be...Heck, I'm all for golfing in thunderstorms these days...You should try it sometime...
Perhaps the sarcasm isn't helpful...
Yet, hope they find an answer for that troubling pain...
Much love to you Karin!!
XOXO
Big hugs!
JinShinJytsu would suggest just holding your thumb (either one) whenever you think of it. Or suck it if you feel so inclined! Children and babies know this trick.
JinShinJytsu. I'm going to have to look into that. Is it related to Shiatsu?
