I had my second colonoscopy yesterday and my doctor said everything looks perfect! No polyps and everything looks pink and healthy! YAY! So now I can move on to the five year screening plan.

I woke up from the anesthesia at the very end of the procedure and got to watch a bit of it. I find it so interesting to get a glimpse at the inner-workings of my body.

So, that is a good club to belong to. That. " let's do this again in 5 years ". Worst part is over **

I didn't wake up till it was all over, but I got a shiny CD..It is fascinating, and they gave the pics & a video on a CD..No 8 x 10 glossies

..

My Doc leaned over and said, Your colon is boring. Come back in 5 years, and let's do this again. Oh yeah...

May 15, 2013 is my 9 year cancer free follow-up appointment.
