[QUOTE="calumcco, post: 573009, member: 88748"] Hi I do not currently have another appointment for Gastroscopy. I am just waiting to see my Consultant in September and taking it from there. I actually spoke to an endoscopic nurse when I cancelled the 2nd appointment and she said " I don't blame you for cancelling as to be honest I don't think this procedure is going to find the answer to your symptom" She also asked why I had been referred for the procedure when I had not answered YES to any of the ten questions she had asked me regarding symptoms. I.E.... Do you have any heartburn ... NO Do you have any pain in your Gastrointestinal tract... NO Any weight loss... NO Any dysphagia... NO Any actual vomiting... NO Any bloating in your abdomen... NO Any blood in your phlem... NO Any indigestion... NO Any bowel difficulties... NO Any regurgitation... NO She was bemused as she told me that 85% of patients she sees have answered YES to 7 or more of these questions. I am also not anaemic as my Blood Count is incredibly healthy. [/QUOTE]
