Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2005Now we wait....
Had the endoscopy yesterday morning. No bleeding ulcers, thank goodness! However.... 1 - The squamocolumnar junction (whatever THAT is) was somewhat irregular. Two biopsies were taken. Otherwise, the esophagus appeared to be normal. 2 - The stomach is normal. 3 - A 4 mm smooth nodule was found in the duodenum. Five biopsies were taken. I am supposed to sit tight for two weeks and then call the doctor for the results. He has not yet addressed the pain in the side issue. I'm off to the Internet to do some research on duodenal nodules. Thanks for your prayers and well-wishes, DeeTee ________________________________ DeeTee and Bob Taggart http://www.marykay.com/dtaggart3 http://mysite.verizon.net/vze8fwov/ ________________________________ {{{{{DeeTee}}}}} The squamocolumnar junction irregularity is most likely from chronic reflux. And nodules in a person your age are to be expected. They are a likely source of your bleeding as well. If they looked cancerous, your doc would have requested a frozen section and would have had an answer within hours. All in all, I think this was a good report DeeTee. It could have been a lot worse!

Enough so, that I'm repeating it! heehee And so far, all they've found is stuff that can be treated, which is even better. I'm keeping the prayers said and the fingers crossed and you keep us posted, ok?

It is my understanding that if it was one of those little button type, chances are it is OK but if it was one of the strung out longer type, the chances go the other way but a person has to wait on the findings every time. Good luck with it. Harv This one looks like a cashew or an overgrown peanut. It is 4 mm long. We'll see what the doc says....when he says it. Thanks, Guys!

[quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> http://mysite.verizon.net/vze8fwov/ >> ________________________________ Well, the GI doc called. All biopsies were normal. Hooray!! Now, since the black stuff seems to have stopped, and it is *only* anemia, the GI doc is referring me back to the RD. He said that if things don't improve, they can have me swallow a little camera that records all day long and see what's happening in the small intestine. My ultrasound of the upper right quadrant is in August. Thanks to everyone for your prayers. I'm still pretty wiped out, but at least I no longer believe I am in danger. We'll see what the RD says. Probably, "Next...."
