Update on Yesterday’s Colonoscopy
The prep was most definitely the worst part: not really the effects of it because I don’t think, after a bad bout of diarrhoea during the early hours of Sunday, there was much to get flushed out; but the prep drink tasted like the winning brew in a demon’s competition. I found it impossible to drink

Bowel and uterus stuck together
I just recently had laparoscopic surgery to have cyst removal and a full hysterectomy. Four years ago I had a colostomy and had it reversed which left me with an enormous amount of scar tissue. I am happy to say that 2 days after surgery I can finally have a successful bowel movement without laxatives

Information Please After Hysterectomy
Hi. I am 62 and went through the menopause many years ago. A few years ago I started bleeding again and was diagnosed with something other than endometriosis. I decided to have a hysterectomy as it was a condition that could have turned cancerous. During the keyhole op the Consultant terminated the op

Post thyroidectomy
Hello, I had my completition thyroidectomy on Monday, but unfortunately had a hematoma after surgery so was taken back into theatre on Monday evening, bleeding stopped and an extra couple of clips placed on the arteries. In comparison to my lobectomy I’m exhausted, and as pictures show extremely bruised

Help with Blue Horizon Thyroid Test Results
I wonder if someone would be able to tell me what my test results mean. In October I had a total thyroid lobectomy to remove a 6cm lump, which was benign. Since having the operation my TSH was 5.46 (range 0.27 to 4.2). I was started on 50mg of levo. Last week, I had a blood test at my consultants

20 Months NED
My latest CT scan showed NED. I am so lucky. In four months I will be at the two year mark since my lobectomy. Nothing to brag about but just something to be thankful for. I sincerely wish all of you could report the same. Rick

Permanent or temporary colostomy
Another question. I am having a consultation with my oncologist and surgeon this Friday. Will they be able to tell me for sure if my colostomy will be permanent or temporary at that time?

Eastenders
Does anyone else find Eastender’s character Sharon’s line on tonights episode “He’s been strapped to me a colostomy bag” highly offensive. I’m coeliac but have family members who are IBD sufferers so I can sympathise as to how insensitive this is!

Some progress but a question about home testing
So I saw my consultant yesterday. Having had a total thyroid lobectomy 8 weeks ago. Had bloods done about 4 weeks ago with a raised tsh 5.46 (range 0.27 to 4.2) - no action taken to see if right half of thyroid would recover. Had bloods done again and I am now closer to range at TSH 4.4. (t4 16.9

Almost a year after ICU stay and sepsis
It was December 0f 2017 when two hospital stays with misdiagnosis by a callous and uncaring hospitalist (She told me to get up and take a shower and I would be fine) resulted in emergency surgery to remove four feet of intestines with perforation and sepsis. I spent several days in ICU on a ventilator
