The colonoscopy went off without a hitch last week but there were two minor details left unresolved. The doctor removed two polyps while he was doing his Fantastic Voyage thing. He told me they looked like nothing to worry about but he sent them off to a lab to be sure. Today I went back to get the results.
No cancer. Precancerous. Will not return.
Sounds copacetic to me.
The finding of the polyps however elevates my risk for colon cancer so I have been moved out of the five year club and into the three year club. Small price to pay, I suppose.
Maybe in three years they will make an advancement in the prep so that it tastes delightful. Fat chance.
I reminded the doctor of my family history of colon cancer (my mother survived; her sister did not). He immediately said if I have any siblings over the age of 40 that they should get tested. So Bill, Joe, Jim, Marg, Mike and Roo step right up and get your MoviPrep. You're on candid camera.
Here's to 2015!
Welcome to the 3-Year Club! :) My sis is having her's done today...oh joy! But, better to have it done than NOT!
