Thank you. You have an excellent memory! Except no post menopausal
bleeding. Gyn and Clevland Clinic gyn both recommending decision after
02 Oct ultrasound so ... keeping diary of what I eat each day and
amount to take to gastro 07 Oct and gyn 15 Oct. Your input is
appreciated and I'm thinking along the same lines as you ... but still
more worried about the intestines than the gyn problems. Seems at least
we've caught them early. I really do appreciate your good wishes. God
bless!
