I hope your CT scan went well today. I understand your need to get all this done.
I got a colonoscopy in April, 2006. All was well (still have that hemorroid from birthing #1 daughter). Jean gave good advice about eating lightly the 2 days before. Drinking the gallon of Trilyte is no treat - do NOT leave home. Do NOT go on your walks. Be very close to the porclein goddess. But, then it will be done. Even though I had no polyops or anything, because I had bc, they want to do it every 5 yrs versus every 10. Its like Flori said, they really like to make sure. I think it was the reason I got my cyst done so quick - found it Sunday, my onc took me 11am Monday and the tests were yesterday morning. Its good, but its almost too quick.
Flori hit it right though, if something is up.......... But you will find that nothing is but its wonderful to know for sure.
I will be thinking of you on the 17th (but not on the 16th too much!!)
Love to you
