Hi Holly...Good news and bad news huh? I too have an old scar on my lung which every time i have a CT the technician panics...I make sure the same radiologist reads my CT every time locally so he can compare. I also get a CD disc and the test results which are yours to have and send them to my surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic to go over...just prudent.
Sorry about the bowel problems...i know without having any chemo i had a horrible time with diarhea and constipation for the first couple of months...i think part of that goes with the territory with the intestines. They're angry and wrongfully think its your fault and will punish you. You must have a talk with them!!!
I wonder if you're on any lorazepam as that will lessen spasms ..one of the side effects as they also calm you down.
Did Mayo give you a packet with a picture of exactly what your neo-bladder looks like? I know it was part of my info packet and i keep it in my purse as noone around here knows what an Indiana Pouch looks like much less where it is! It might be in your discharge summary which you can also ask for....if you haven't gotten it already...Thats also yours for the asking. My Internist and my GYN also have a copy of that.
Hang in there....we're rooting for you......Pat
