colonoscopy update, 13 years out

[brandy]

Hello,

I was diagnosed with MC at age 50. At age 60 I did the Cologuard stool test to check for cancer. I finally did my next colonoscopy at age 63. I told the gastroenterologists to take a lot of biopsies for MC.

The Gastro did numerous biopsies for MC. All were negative for MC. He did note that I had "a longitudinal scar tissue throughout the entire colon. The scar tissue was of healthy appearance." My colon must have been really inflamed at age 50 with active MC. I guess MC is not so "microscopic".

I'll never knowingly eat gluten. I'm very sensitive to chemicals and ingredients in foods and supplements and try to eat simply.

I get monitored for something called MGUS once a year by a hematologist/cancer doc. The Hematologists are always amazed that I have MC and am not on drugs and that I stay in remission from diet alone.

Thanks for the update.
