Hi Folks, just an update on my unusual bowel layout. I had an endoscopy and I am now on tablets for gastritis, so at least other things have been ruled out, including the big C in the area covered by the procedure. I’m now awaiting an appointment for a small bowel investigation, which I gather involves an mri with some lovely stuff to drink and a couple of injections. After that, I’m hopeful I will have a map of my layout and be as “normal” as I can be again.
I had a couple of small lumps on my left hand side, close to the area of pain and I now have more of these on the left and some on the opposite side too. I have a telephone consultation with my haematologist tomorrow morning and a gp face to face, later on in the afternoon but I just wanted to ask if anyone else has experience of small lumps plus pain, plus gastritis? I also have a lot of inflammation of joints due to osteoarthritis. I’m just beginning to wonder if my excess in red blood cells could be related to the other two issues or are the other two related to one another? A lot of questions will be asked tomorrow!
Hope you are all as well as you can be. X😻😻
