Now to talk about the successful colonoscopy just a little bit. They put me back into a room after I got out of the procedure room. Two nurses were helping me and told me that the doctor would be in soon to talk to me about my procedure. I was pretty groggy!
I looked in MyChart, and this is the guy who did my colonoscopy:
He looked about my age and walked into the room, saying these six words, “I rid your body of cancer.” he walked in further and he said that that’s what happens when you leave polyps there. I had one on the left side of my colon.
But when he said those six words to me, I immediately thought of my aunt Rita and the corners of my eyes stung a little bit. This song was playing in my head:
I thought of Sean’s other grandparents who lost their battle with cancer and currently the people fighting it! I’m just happy that he says that I don’t have to come back for 5 to 7 years. My Mom said we will see you in seven and as he left I asked her, “When you’re 80? We’ll see him in five.”
