Hi everyone....my husband has ITP (untreated by choice, steroid dose has to be too high) along with a bad case of bleeding hemorrhoids. It's pretty bad when I have to deliver a roll of paper towels to him in the bathroom. He needs to have something done (again) about the hem'roids and is also overdue for a colonoscopy due to the pandemic. My worry is that he would never survive the trauma of the prep for a c'oscopy. His last one was 7 yrs ago. (He's on a 5 yr schedule.) We're at the point where we're weighing risks against benefits. Wondering if anyone else has been in this predicament. We see his hema on Thursday. Just wish there was some other type of test or scan for colon cancer for patients like him and others.
