I am having a SECOND Capsule endoscopy next week. I JUST had one in May! Because the half prep wasn't enough, it was a cloudy pic of small intestine.

My iron saturation levels have been extremely low, despite 8 weeks of iron infusions IV every couple of months or so. Have had to have them since last October or so. I am now with 6 under my belt, have 2 more to go.

I saw my gastro, we have done every test imaginable. The fecal globulin immunoassay is positive for bleeding internally! Most probably small intestine. A scope can NOT go in that area to see...so a second capsule endoscopy!

I see my new surgeon next week, so will know more then, what we may be looking at!

Dec 2011 marks my eighth year cancer free from colon/uterine cancer!

To everyone here, I send healing energies & positive vibes for all of you, fighting, or your friends/loved ones who are fighting. KEEP FIGHTING!

Take care...tell your person how much you love them..every day!
Tell your friends how much you love them every day!

Love is an amazing healer of things in life that are so stressful! I love each of you!
