When the cancer was detected the summer of '83, the doctor told me she had 6-9 months left, & she hit 9 pretty much on the nose. She was never told it was terminal, judging from a letter I came across a few years ago that a friend had written to her not too long before her death.
All of which reminds me that my own GI guy might have forgotten I exist. My last couple of colonoscopies yielded pretty clear results, with only a couple of polyps popping up, so he moved my schedule for the procedure back from every couple of years to, I guess, whatever the norm is for a guy in his early 60s -- every 5 years, maybe? I sort of suspect it's been longer than that. Probably not the best idea in the world, given not only my mother's mode of death but also my decades-long history of Crohn's.
Oh, well. No one lives forever.
I'd forgotten, but my FB post says the paperwork showed I was there for an endoscopy, as opposed to the colonoscopy that was actually the reason. So they did both. No big deal, I'm sure, especially since insurance covered any extra expense. And hell, I was unconscious; they could've sawed off my right arm for all I knew.
Speaking of which (the unconsciousness part, not the amputation part), I remember a gf telling me before my 11/1/00 procedure (I remember the date because I was bitter over having had to skip a Halloween party & attendant food offerings) that her estranged husband had been awake for his colonoscopies. Makes me wonder if that's something they used to do, or if he just anesthesia-averse.
I have vague memories of having one done a few years earlier while I was anesthetized into a so-called twilight state; maybe that's what she was referring to.
That's how mine have been done too. I'm told that it's effectively a combination painkiller/muscle relaxant/amnesiac that they give me.
