Sorry to hear all this, Jana. My situation was not really comparable, but last year I had an endoscopy and partial colonoscopy... he had to stop because I kept coughing when he got to a certain spot and was afraid he would puncture something. The endoscopy showed esophageal ulcers. A few weeks later he had me do the Cologuard method, where they look at a large stool sample and analyze the DNA in there to detect possibly cancerous conditions. All was tested out to be OK, but I'll probably need a real colonoscopy in the future. Just wanted to make people aware of this non-invasive method; of course, if it had showed something, more investigation would have been needed. I hope to heaven your tumor is benign, and that they will be able to anesthetize you better in the future. I'm glad you vented here and hope you have a good 4th with your husband!

Well, the "good news" is you now have an explanation for your issues. I hope it's easily treatable without too much discomfort. Enjoy the holiday!!

Unfortunately not everything is WG, even though we tend to blame it for everything first.
I'm so sorry that they found this, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is benign as Anne has said.
Thank goodness you were brave enough to tell them to continue.
Enjoy your holidays and then let hubby know what is going on. I hate the thought of you going through this without his support
Big hugs to you

Dear Jana, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this tumor. I hope its benign. I googled it and read that there can be many variations of it. I pray that yours is the easiest. Thanks for sharing with us. Enjoy your vacation. Sending prayers & hugs ❤❤❤❤

Jaha, I'm so sorry to hear about your tumour. I pray it's benign.
I think you'll struggle to look like you're having a good time on holiday when you know you'll need to tell your husband at some point. He's not going to enjoy seeing you not enjoying your holiday as much as usual. So I'd tell him immediately.
Whatever you decide, you've always got lots of friends here to share your worries and troubles with. You always try and support others on this forum, now it's your turn to receive some support.

I just wanted to thank all of you for your kind responses. I have set up an an appointment with an oncologist at James Cancer Clinic, at Ohio State University. I have been waiting for over a week for my gastroenterologist to call me back to ask him some questions and also for my Rheumy to call me to let me know about holding off on my Rtx that was scheduled for tomorrow. I have cancelled the Rtx, so I won't get down before I have the appt. on Aug 4th. I have had all my records sent to them and feel confident with the decision I have made not having CC take care of this situation. I have been trying to get the gastro at CC to do a colonoscopy on me ever since they found 20-50 polyps in my stomach, two years ago. I am kind of feeling ignored. This kind of cancer is very rare and slow moving, I feel that all will be good, once they find out where it originated from. I'm so thankful that I have a group like you all to talk with, and I love you all! I will keep you informed on my next steps!

I think you'll be in good hands at The James. Hoping all goes well. Glad to see this afternoon's tornadoes missed you.
