March 10, 2005 - Oh my god, you sound just like me.
I too have had the same surgeries: appendix,
gallbladder, fibroid tumours, hysterectomy and
just to even things out breast cancer (which had
complications of infection and hemmorage that
took three and a half months to heal before I
could have chemotherapy and radiation. The bowel
situation was living hell while I was going
through the chemo/radiation. Thank god the cancer
has been gone over 2 years now and seems to
no longer be an issue, however the bowel problem
has escalated to being on prescribed narcotics
three times a day. After going through this
for approximately 6 years my doctor finally
believes I have intermittent bowel blockage
and really don't need a phsyciatrist afterall.
Next week I will have yet another set of
abdonimal and pelvis ultrasounds (the doctor
seems to believe he now can detect a hard
ridge like mass at the site where the hysterectomy
surgery took place. Unfortunately I am so jaded
now, but will go ahead with the tests, but I
really can't afford emotionally to get my hopes
up, I'll just go through the motions and if
something good comes of it I will be surprised!
