chisue, Sounds good. I was lucky, caught it early. No one in my family has ever had cancer as far as we know and I blame it on radiation poisoning from carrying my cell phone in my pocket for 3 years. If the cancer had been in my left kidney I would not have thought anything of it. When I researched "dangers of cell phone in pocket", boy was I shocked. I checked the phone manual under safety and it said almost the some thing, but in different terms. It mentioned RFs instead of radiation and keeping the phone 1 inch from my body. I don't carry it any more just use it as a regular land line phone. When I get a call and stay on it I use the speaker option. Good luck on the future tests.

Wish I could post later and say this was a success, but had it inserted after D&C on Feb 11, and found out on the 19th that I had endometrial cancer (so much for preventing cancer, too late for that), so am scheduled for complete hysterectomy on the 12th of March. The time I've had it in so far has been fine. I did miss my Feb 25th "normal" period. There was a little spotting...if you could even call it that. Good luck. Vickey-MN

jude -- I kinda suspect mine may be 'attached' too. MD says there could be a tumor as well. The CT is not very clear. I'd have to have a special 'colonoscope w/ultrasound' to *possibly* learn more. I'm thinking, why not just *operate* and remove whatever is there. I'm so glad to hear about your procedure -- and that Sleeperblues recommends an open incision too. I'll ask for that instead of laparascopic. Unfortunately, all this brings back memories of our DS's botched appendectomy when he was about 20. He has a scar about 12 inches long from the incompetent surgeon on call at the ER that night. DS was in surgery for four hours with this jerk. Worse still, the same guy happily removed stitches in his office while DS complained of pain. (DS has very high pain threshold.) Within hours we were back at the ER. The MD on duty gasped, then immediately opened the incision. The stench of infection was awful. DS was in hospital for three weeks on IV antibiotics. A scary time. I got nowhere complaining about the surgeon; he continued on-call at that ER until he retired. (Even the ER nurses rolled their eyes at mention of his name.)

Glad you have had this done and hope the results are nothing to be concerned about. I don’t recall your Cologuard results, but happy there is something that shows promise for early detection that might help others.
