Whoa! I didn't know that you need surgery JJ?
My last cardiac treadmill test was a real issue, as the guy kept on increasing the speed of the mill, and I forced my gammy left leg to keep up. In the meantime, my shoulder was damaged from hanging on.
I hope that your issue is not serious my friend.
Yeah, I remember discussing your pending retirement with you some years ago. A different life mate.
!BEER
I did one a few years ago, back before I had the stents inmy legs and my legs cramped up badly but I tried to keep going but then they stopped because I got an irregular heart beat, I am hoping that was becaus eof the cramping, and it goes fine this time
My issue isnt to serious, basically I have bene havign colonoscopies every 6 months and each time I have had more polyps, 20+ last time, my brother back in NZ the same, so we both were giving genetic tests and both have a gene that gives us a high chance for Colon Cancer ( by high like 95% at my age) and the Dr felt that even though I have bene lucky and none have turned cancerous yet, that 6 monthly colonoscopies will not keep it at bay and referred me to an oncology surgeon who ageed and they are planning to remove mos tof my colon only leaving a small section where it connects to the rectum
A fairly serious surgery, he said 5 to 7 hours long if all goes well and then a week in hospital again if all goes well
Me being me I told the surgeon I am an over acheiver so Surgery will be just under 5 hours and I will be good to be released fromthe hospital in 4 or 5 days :)
Cheers and !BEER
Now I remember that one that you had years back, and we also discussed it.
Your situation is indeed serious, and the doctor is correct that the colonoscopies will not be able to cure it. I say that its serious as one doesn't want to fool with cancerous polyps, but I just wish that there is a better way to rectify the gene. Apparently not to be and when are you going in for the operation?
We will pray for you.

I did do some research and it does seem the best option for the long term off to the medical clinic for the stress test in an hour and a half, lets hope that goes well I think I am more concerned if the Cardiologist finds blockages and wants to clear those first as she said if she does and puts in a stent then I would have to stay on blood thinners for a year and my surgery would have to be delayed till after that and I am more concered about the 6 monthly colonoscopies not keeping the cancer at bay
thanks so much
So, by now you will know what the test revealed, and I hope that it was good JJ.
Another stent will be a problem, as it will certainly delay the entire process, and that could relate into some real problems for you.
So we hope that it was all good.
I felt the test was going well I was walking away on the treadmill feeling good and got my heart up to about 120 and the goal they had was to get it to 133, then the oxtgen level thingy on my finger dropped to 89% I said i felt good was breathing a bit heavy but still talking and feeling fine, but they stopped the treadmill and moved me onto a stretcher to increase heart rate with a medication, maybe less than a minute after they stopped me the put the finger thingy back on and my oxygen level showed as 97% which is good for me so it all seemed weird to me
as for the results, I felt fine all through it sso am hopeful, but guess I will find out on Tuesday
I need to trust the doctors recommendations and do what is needed, but putting off the surgery is a bit of a concern, but what will be will be
Not a good sign if your oxygen suddenly dropped like that JJ. Let's hope and pray that the result will be good my friend 🤞🙏
I think that the doctors also want to prioritize the surgery, but they know that if the oxygen in your blood circulation system will not be up to it, then they first have to correct it. Better safe than sorry.
So, let's wait and see.

Yeah true, but I think the damage to my lungs due to when I had TB is a big factor on that, they still got my heart rate up and finished the test, so lets see what they say on Tuesday
