Gastroscopy
I am having a gastroscopy next Wednesday, for nasty problem I have, I am a Barratts sufferer.I have had many of them over the years and never bothered about them, but this time I feel very apprehensive about it.
You just hope they don't find anything too nasty, but never mind it has to be done.

I have had an endoscopy (same thing I think) , 'a piece of cake' as they say 
don't worry about it.I refused any form of sedation and just had a numbing spray.
All those men (and they were all men ) who had the sedation were coughing and spluttering afterwards while I was on my way home along with the other woman who refused sedation.
Good luck

Re: Gastroscopy
Just had a colonoscopy, next week having a barium follow through, probably have a gastroscopy next. I'm quite happy to have all of it, (except the laxative dynamite). My sister has had colon cancer which spread to her liver, 3 years or so of chemo, bits of colon removed & a third of her liver, now she's had radio-active beads put in her liver to shrink a tumour away from an artery so they can remove it safely, took 2 days of lying still in and several scans in one of those tunnels. Now a gastrocopy doesn't sound too bad, does it? Be brave! Hope it all turns out well for you xx|
