On Thursday I am having an enteroclysis, which is having an NG tube threaded down to my small intestine and have the barium put in that way. I guess for small intestinal bleeding this is best test. I am not looking forward to having an NG tube but I guess I have to. If that is negative I will then have and angiogram of the mesentary artery and see if they can see the bleeding that way. I dread that also. Then an another colonoscopy and trip to the hemotologist (sp) to see if there is possible a problem with my bone marrow and that is why I am anemic which may be separate from the intestinal bleeding.
If all that fails then I may need to have surgery to try to find out where the bleeding is coming from.
So, I am happy that something is being done, I just really don't look forward to the process of finding out what it is. I am not really worried about it being cancer, I just don't have a great feeling about avoiding further surgery. Oh well onward and forward and think positive thougths.
Sorry for this being so long.
