Hi friends.
Procedure went well. The good news: no signs of cancer or major disease. The bad news: no explanation for the symptoms I have been having for the last 5 years. I am back to square one, or more aptly, have never actually left square one. To most a clean and healthy test would be good news. I am quite disheartened because I don't know where we go from here. I have a follow up appointment with the gi specialist in about a week and a half.
Sorry for the downtrodden post and self pity. I will be back tomorrow.
