"Gallbladder"

Quick update because I'm at work.

Went to the GI today. He thinks its an ulcer. This type of ulcer is from a bacterial infection you get as a child and then as an adult you get ulcers and possibly stomach cancer. My mom has ulcerative colitis so that is always a concern too. I have to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy next Friday. Just a tad freaked.

  • Thank you everyone for your kind words.

    I do have a prescription on the assumption it is an ulcer and if that is what it is I should feel better soon. Also, I forgot the "good news." If it is an ulcer from this bacterial infection and nothing more it is totally treatable with a course of meds and no surgery will be needed. So that is a good thing. I guess the meds can cause birth defects so it would mean waiting for another baby -- but we dont' have any immediate plans to TTC anyways.

    Keep us posted. Let's hope it's only something minor that the meds can take care of!!

  • I'm sure it's scary but I hope they Do finally figure it out for sure so they can treat it... hang in there. :)
  • The procedures themselves aren't bad, but I think if I was in your situation I would be freaked out a bit too. The good news is that you might finally have an answer as to what is really going on, right?

    Sending a bunch of vibes your way.
