Test results are in.....

Today I got the test results from my endoscopy and colonoscopy. Appears the polyps were benign and the nodules they removed from my stomach were also benign. Praise god all that was cleared... Now I get the bad news appears I have H-Pylori... So now I start a 2 week regimine of anti-biotics. 4 times a day plus Prevacid 2 times a day.....My question is will Dr. Hart not sign off till this is all cleared up or will I have to go in for another test before he will submit? The gastrologist office said they would not require another test..... That the 2 week regimine would clear it up... Keeping my fingers crossed here and sending up lots of prayers that soon I will get past this... I know that things happen in the time frame that they should, that God has a plan for us all... I keep reminding myself that it is all in his hands now. Patrice

Patrice, That is not bad news, better to find out now, and within the next 2 wks which is probably how long it will take to get the paperwork together and to the insurance and back from denial and to your other insurance company, you will be all healed from that. I would call Mildred first thing in the morning and find out in general what he does in regards to H.Pylori. That is what I would do. Good luck and keep me informed. D'Lynn

Hi, Patrice! Hallelujah for the good test results! A friend had H-Pylori, and it did not postpone her surgery. Those antibiotics should take care of it! This journey is definitely in His time frame and plan! Don't you wish we could see the "blue prints" every once in a while? Nahhhhhh!!! I have a feeling we are better off not knowing! Hugs! Becky

Thanks D'Lynn and Becky..... I am constantly reminding myself that I am lucky that they found it now instead of later..... Surely can't have any ulcers later on. Guess I am being a little impatient now.... Strange how I find patience with things that happen in the classroom but when it comes to me and what I want I find I want it to have happened yesterday..My prayer is Lord grant me more patience..... Patrice

Patrice Great news about your test! I am not familiar with H-Pylori. Hopefully the antibibiotic will take care of it. I will be thinking of you. Waiting is the hard part. Keep us informed Anne

You are in my prayers........ Joyce

Patrice, I am so glad to hear your test results were benign! And what a great time we live in to have all these tests available to be sure of the best outcome possible for your wl journey.

Remember there are a lot of caring folks here for you to get support, even if it's just the need to vent. Please let me know if you need anything. Barb
