  I had the colonoscopy done last Monday. The doctors wanted to get into the small intestine via the colon. They found the narrowing that the small bowel endoscopy showed. It was at the end of my small intestine where it connects to my colon. They could not get the scope through it, but they were able to get a ton of biopsies on both sides. I got a call from my doctor last night with some good news. The biopsies did not show cancer. She thinks it is just inflammation. The team still doesn't know what exactly is causing this, but they are still looking into it further. I have to get a C.T. scan done sometime next week.
