Hello my lovely girls!
So as promised I went to see my GP re my bloating and poo situation, yikes!
Heres what happened!
After my thorough explanation with pictures of my poo lol and a sample in hand, you can't say I was ill-prepared
He said I'd need a digital exam and a referral, and that I did the right thing by going. The words bowel cancer did leave his lips, but he quickly followed it by saying the symptoms don't quite fit, but we need to eliminate the nasty's. So I've booked to see a female Doc for the finger poke....women's fingers are slimmer, see I'm not just a pretty face...wink!
He then said it could well be hormonal and has asked me to come off all my hrt, as of tmrw for 2 weeks to see if the tummy issues resolve, otherwise I'm off to the specialist for a colonoscopy...nice! I am a little apprehensive about stopping my hrt, as I may well be swapping one set of problems for another lot, like insomnia, headaches and hot flushes, butt what's a girl to do!
Anyone know how long hrt will take to leave the system?...I'll hold a symbolic funeral on that day..boohoo! Wish me luck.
