This time I had the TV screen right up to me and was interested watching what went on. Little bit worrying was the sight of blood in the stomach. Could this have been caused by one of the biopsy tests and is it ususal?
Thx
Tony

It depends how much blood you saw. If it was just a small amount, it could have been the result of the biopsy, which naturally makes a small wound in the stomach wall.
If severe bleeding had been noticed they wouldn't have let you leave the hospital after the test, so there's clearly no cause for immediate alarm.
I expect your doctor will contact you to discuss the results of the test once he/she receives them. If you don't hear anything in the next few weeks, I'd suggest you ask your doctor about this.
If there was any serious bleeding going on you'd be vomiting it up in the form of "coffee ground vomit", or you'd be passing foul-smelling black black stools. This is what stomach blood looks like when it's digested.
As long as you're not having the above symptoms or feeling unduly faint or ill, there's nothing to worry about. But do attend for a follow-up appointment if you're called to one.
