Update: the stomach polyps are benign :). That's the good news! Dd will have a colonoscopy Tuesday to check for (and remove) more polyps. If they are present, we will all have genetic testing to see if we carry the marker for a rare disease which almost always causes colon cancer in adults (30s and 40s). Anyone positive will be facing major surgery.

 

Dr is hopeful no polyps will be present. Of course, that would mean more testing for dd to determine why she is in such pain after eating. I am so thankful we live near an internationally-respected children's hospital.

 

We told dd eveything. She is being very brave :)

 

Thanks to all of you, from the bottom of our hearts. On to the next step!

 

So glad that they are benign.  Finding the source of pain can be so hard.  I hope the doctors are able to figure it out.   :grouphug:

Colon cancer runs in my family and I've already lost one sibling, with another in treatment, so I know how horrible it feels to be waiting for those test results. Your DD has been on my mind since you first posted, and I'm SO relieved that she got the all clear!   :grouphug:  :grouphug:  :grouphug:
