Believe me, the prep and procedure is nothing compared to having to go through surgery and chemo. Nor the anxiety of going through PTSD every 3 months as you have scanxiety waiting for your scan results to see if the cancer is back or not. Or the pain of dealing with losing people you get close to in the cancer support groups that die from the same disease you have.
Sorry to hear all that brother;I was scheduled for the scope back in January and had to cancel as I was dealing w the other issue I have. Initial PET scan lit up a few places where my cancer metastasized,but didn't show anything in my digestive tract which is good I suppose,but still no substitute for the actual scope.

Once I beat the testicular cancer(Monday I begin week 6 of 9wk chemo plan!) and I'm good to go,I'll be getting the scope in the heiney.

I wish you the best
