It's All Good!

I just went in for my 6 month follow-up colonoscopy, and things went really well. The Doc. discovered that my U.C. is officially in remission, and ulcers were healing up well. There were only a few red areas that he saw, and where they removed the polyps last time has healed up really well also. He said that on a scale of 1-10 regarding how worried he was about me he used to be a 7 and now he is less than 1. He cut me back to 2.4 g of lialda, so that will be nice. It is a very expensive prescription. He took a ton of biopsies and we should be hearing back from the pathologist by Wed. of next week in regards to the dysplasia. I am really interested to hear what these results are because the last time they were reviewed was when the disease was active, and it is far more difficult to diagnose dysplasia when the disease is active. So cross your fingers for me. Last time they said the cells were doing something abnormal but were indefinite as far as confirming or denying dysplasia (a precancerous indicator).
