Update on my journey
Hi ladies, So it’s 10 wks since my opp for severe endometriosis which had spread to my bowel. I had Endo for about 5 years to my knowledge and got diagnosed last year. I was told before my surgery there was a chance of hysterectomy or a colostomy bag and possibly a large cut. My opp went really well

Laparoscopy, Bowel Prep, Colostomy
Hi Everyone I’m due to have my 4th laparoscopy on 28th Aug I have my pre opp assessment on Monday. Following my last laparoscopy my Gynecologist said it got to dangerous for him to remove any more legions off my bowel and next time would need a bowel surgeon in the operation with him so that’s happening

Help for rectum mucus
I have a lot of mucus from rectum and it is making my life miserable many times a day I run to bathroom with the strong urge to poop like old days before the colostomy. No blood or color just clear watery like mucus. I have tried enemas. I also have cancer so the drs keep saying this is normal and nothing

How I got here
Last year I had a pretty horrific midriff hernia repair and reconstruction from which it took months to recover. I had a ct scan done at that time and a couple of small nodules were found on my right lung. No one seemed concerned and I was told I would have a followup scan this summer. In the meantime

EBUS Results
Good Morning all. I had a PET Scan EBUS on 13th June. Results on 22nd June. The tiny growths were not cancer returning, so I am still clear. They are new granulomas forming. Which are benign Sarcoidosis, a condition I have actively lived with for many years with no treatment thankfully. I would rather

How does Doctor determine need for Oxygen?
My COPD after my lobectomy is getting worse especially in hot and humid conditions. How do they determine if you need oxygen. I had a breathing test in a chamber once.
