Bimmercando Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 During a colonoscopy is when they would remove any polyps.After removal they send them to the lab to test if benign or malignant. May be just a hemorrhoid and the doc may send you for that colonoscopyto make sure it's nothing more, after asking you about your family healthhistory back a generation. Believe there was recently a colonoscopy related thread here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The only thing they detected was blood, could mean polyps, could be cancer, could be hemmoroids, could be you take it you know where. Chances are you're fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plommer Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Everything will be fine, pal. Keep us updated on the matter. Went to the Dr today. Told me 1 of the stool 3 samples I sent in contained blood. They are scheduling a colonoscopy. I'm very happy with my treatment and my Dr. They called me immediately after getting the test results and moved up my appointment 2 weeks in order to fast track things.

You'll be drinking up loads before and then cursing after. "Shitty" routine.Good Luck and spare us the bathroom details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plommer Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Just returned home after my procedure at 11AM. I must say I was very impressed with the medical staff and my treatment at the clinic. VERY professional - clear concise instructions and complete explanation of the process. I was confident I was in good hands. Friendly too. As for the colonoscopy, the Dr said he was very glad I came in early (I'm not yet 50) because they discovered and removed 7 polyps. 1 of the polyps was quite large. I'm scheduled for another colonoscopy 1st week of August to make certain they found and removed everything. While not a pleasant experience it was only mildly unpleasant at times. No pain at all, just cramps from bloating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richsox24 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Good to hear plommer. My mom just went thru the same thing (albeit she's older than you). If they catch it early enough before it spreads (even if the polyps are cancerous), you shouldn't have any issues. You'll just have to do a colonoscopy every 2 years, instead of 4-5. But other than that, hopefully clear sailing ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
