scott and jan thank you for both of your valuable input.
so my scopes went okay but they were busy and had complications to deal with today so i wasnt scoped till 5pm, and my original time was for 3pm. all that waiting. but it is worth it of course.
im reporting back now. i was not cleaned out well, but they were able to go with the flex sig anyway. the nurse said something, dr didnt comment on not being cleaned out sufficiently..it was late i didnt question it further..i got home after 7;30 pm from the hospital.
chemo drugs are in my future to help shrink hopefully some rectal polyps. im going on a study geared at fap folks, for cpp-x1 or something like it and i see my gastro in his office in december sometime.
im to continue with yearly survillance of upper and lower g.i. scopes
6 biopsies were taken from the upper g.i and 6 from the lower, and he removed alot of polyps.
i will require a rectal resection as my original surgeon who did the 1-step colectomy and jpouch formation for me left an elongated rectal area in which i have clusters of polyps of adenomatous variety.
they will remove more rectum and reconnect me . i think my rectum was left longer because of the surgeons skill back then/knowledge at the time about pouches in 2001 or because i had a lap/hand assist instead of an open procedure.
the surgery i will have in the future sometime will be done open i was told. but that is down the line. im just now aware and didnt know before from seeing a different g,i. that i have a extended rectal area, it should be shorter and i wont have the significant polyp problem in the neo rectal area of the jpouch as i do now.
i was given propofol for anesthesia. i trust this dr and his bed side manner is good.
just an update for now,
-len
