First, I apologize for not calling those people that I otherwise would
have, my throat is pretty sore.

No tumor you all NO TUMOR!!

I have the actual medical record. The doctor found

a slight peptic stricture which was dilated to 18 mm (how big is YOUR
esophagus? Anybody know the answer to that one? LOL)

There was also a large sliding hiatus hernia found (knew that already)

The squamo-columnar mucosa (sounds attractive) junction (z - line) was
at 36 cm.

STOMACH : Mild erythematous/exudative gastritis (I'm so sexy!)
involving the antrum was noted.

DUODENUM: a small umbilicated polyp in the bulb which appeared like a
pancreatic rest.

Diagnosis:
Benign Esophageal Stricture
Hiatus Hernia
Gastritis

Procedures:
Biopsy: Vial I from duodenal cap x 1, Biopsy: Vial II from lesser curve
- antrum x 1

Final Dispostion: Return to referring doctor. Await histopathology
results and anti-reflux diet and lifestyle changes and increase
prilosec to 20 mg. po bid. Recommend colonoscopy to evaluate weight
loss.

Whew. Okay..so there's a polyp and some part of my stomach that they
biopsied.. and they told me it would be about 10 days and I would get a
letter in the mail about the results for that.. and they're still hung
up on the weight loss and want to check out my other end.. I've had
problems that way for so many years, and the doctor told me awhile back
that since I had the symptoms that I did, that it was probably
irritable bowel, and we didn't check anything out then, because my
Medicare hadn't kicked in yet, and it was going to at the start of
February. And I have to cut down on coffee. I will use the half
caffeinated stuff, it's good, and I'll limit it.

So..I'm not out of the woods, I guess, but there's not some cancer in
my esophagus that is spreading as I type this. May be some somewhere
else.

What's good is that this...whatever is causing the weight loss is new.
It's happened to me over the past month or so. And I just got my
Medicare, and they pay for a one time complete physical and my doctor
is very thorough, and he'll check everything I've got to find out why
I'm losing weight.

NOW..uh.. that procedure? THAT WAS AWFUL!!!!!!!! OH did I hate that.
They did NOT fully anesthesize me.. No they did not. They gave me
Demerol and something else.. I asked twice, first time before they gave
it to me, and I was nervous..then I asked again what it was after the
procedure, and the Demerol kept me from remembering it, but I did NOT
like what happened -- Guys, that was SURREAL. They said I wouldn't
remember it. They lied like dogs.

The Demerol -- it made everything seem like a bad dream. I remember
enough of it. Yes I do. It SEEMED like she'd stuck a big metal rod (I
mean big) wayyyyyyyyy down my throat, and I guess it's when they
dilated me, but it completely felt (well Deirdre, I'll tell you later
what it felt like LOL..the rest of you can guess what I thought it felt
like) it was uh.. disturbing?? No..it was worse than that. And they
kept telling me to breathe. I felt like I couldn't take a breath, but I
could when they told me to, several times.

On that report it says.."Patient tolerated the procedure well."
Bullshit. That's what I say. That was one horrible experience, and I
have to have this thing done again 4 weeks from now (that should be
right about the same time I have to move) and I'm calling the office in
the morning and either request a different doctor or different meds
next time or something.

And this is in NO WAY OT.. I think my anxiety disorder played a huge
role in how I was perceiving the whole thing. I do believe it did.
Demerol and anxiety disorder and unpleasant procedures DO NOT MIX and I
am going to inform the office of THAT fact. I would really suggest to
my fellow anxiety sufferers if you're ever going to have a procedure
that might require Demerol? Uh.. find out ahead of time, and talk to
some doctors and don't go that route. I truly don't think Demerol is a
good choice for us.. because it makes things surreal, sort of like
Panic can at times. Just file that away for future reference. That
was my personal experience, anyway.

It was, however interesting to me.. I do not know my sobriety date,
because I kept erecting dates, then I would fall off the wagon and
drink.. but I do know it's been at least 6 months since I had a drink,
and I have very much enjoyed my sobriety, and a lot of people in AA
will tell you not to have pain killers, or those "horrible" benzos --
or maybe even something like Demerol. Uh.. I hated being messed up
today. Hated that out of control feeling. It was horrible. I don't
think having that done is going to make me want a drink now, LOL --
quite the opposite.

I just woke up, it's 8:30 and I had the procedure at 3:15. My head is
throbbing. and my throat feels bruised.

There has to be a different medication or something to do this
procedure... I don't want a repeat of THAT again, and it's got to
happen again in 4 weeks. I am hungry as hell, and I can't have
anything but clear liquids today. I WANT some cream of anything soup,
but I can't have it, and I want to eat. I'm starving and that's
probably why my head hurts.

And oh. this particular doctor? She doesn't numb the throat. Doesn't
feel that's necessary, and maybe that is true, I don't know. It didn't
HURT as much as it DISTURBED me. NO Demerol next time. They can do
something else, I am sure.

Love y'all.

Sally

doing. Looks like so far so good.

I'm surprised you got the test results right away, but it doesn't sound
as bad as you feared, and hopefully everything will turn out fine for
you.

That sounds awful. I think if I had to have that done, I would collapse.
I've had a colonscopy a couple of years ago and that was bad enough, but
anything down the other end would put me into a much worse emotional
state.

I don't blame you for that and its exactly what I would do if it was me.
I thought they could put you out for that kind of test? I know someone
who had this done, but am out of touch with them now, and they said they
got hardly any anaesthetic and that it was a bad experience.

> And this is in NO WAY OT.. I think my anxiety disorder played a huge

I think even if you had no anxiety, would be bad enough.

The prospect is enough for me.

Yes, before you have to get the test done again, tell them you need more
heavy duty anaesthetic. I can't believe a doctor would say they don't
feel its necessary to numb the throat. She might feel differently if she
herself was getting the test done.
Well, Sally, I'm glad you got the test over with, even though it was an
ordeal, and you have done very well, so treat yourself to a nice meal
tomorrow with ice cream or choc. eclair for dessert. You deserve it
after what your ordeal.

:)
Mary

A *peptic stricture*? I'm sure he found one but what *is* it?

Christie has one of those. They used to treat this with surgery but here
they don't do that anymore (except in special cirumstances) as
c0ncervative therapy works better and causes no relapse. She takes a
*proton pump inhibitor* called *Prilosec* which is the first choice med.

Will Prilosec help for that too?

Hm....intelesting, intelesting. Somehow I always read *umbliblicated*

It sounds pretty treatable to me.

You don't have cancer IMHO. And esophageal cancer can be pretty nasty so
I'm *very* glad you escaped that.

It's a good thing to have a complete physical. There can be a zillion
reasons for weight loss (stress being one) but up till now the info is
reassuring.

Not everybody does well on Demerol. A huge shot of midazolam would seem
better to this professional layman... and that *does* cause anterograde
amnesia.

Thankfully it's behind you now. As a matter of fact this is one test I
*dread* and there is no way I would have it done without having been
oput out completely (if that's possible, I heard that they need you to
be somewhat awake to actually *swallow* that tue, but I'm not sure).

I know. I just read it ;-)

Ask them to *really*& put you out and not to use Demerol on you.
(Sometimes they use a mixture of midazolam and Demerol but obviously
Demerol isn't the med for you and you're not the only one). Midazolam or
propofol are what the doctor orders (well, what *you* can order, after
all it's *your* body).

And, as I said, you're not the only one. I don't want Demerol used on me
either. I'm glad you're assertive about this, especially as you will
have to have this procedure done a number of times. No need to suffer
more than is necessary!

Research has proven that as a rule benzos can be safely prescribed to
"recovering alcoholics". Moreover there are ways to avoid benzo
addiction, for instance by having it prescribed for one or two weeks
only and then have a refill of one or two weeks etc.etc.

I don't think anybody likes that!

IMO this is where the anxiety disorder comes in. Much of our panic is
about losing control.

The fact that you are hungry seems a good thing in itself. When are you
allowed to eat again?

See above. Dr. Peters' Prescriptions ;-)

Still, happy that you do nmot have esophageal cancer, that's really the
main thing, isn't it? We want to keep you here!
