I have been a hurting unit for quite some time and finally got sick enough to get to a Doctor for a colonoscopy that was 7 years overdue.
The good Doctor removed three polyps, one of which was heading out of the small category. The good news? No cancer! The bad news? Divercultis and colitis as confirmed by biopsy, still waiting to hear about tests for Gluten issues.
Three potentially bad actors removed from my colon ...a relief for sure. Now starting to be treated for my other issues and hope to regain my life.
Here's the thing, gut issues aren't just for old people, younger and younger people are being diagnosed with colon cancer. Make sure to speak with your Doctor, seek help promptly for any troubling symptoms. Most importantly, speak to your parents, ask about the results of the colonoscopies! Ask about any colon cancer in your extended family. The pathology reports of immediate relatives could well mean that you need to schedule your first scope before age 50.
Just do it! I am so sorry I waited and lived in pain and misery for so long, the procedure was a cake walk, the prep was the worst part of the entire thing!
Just get checked please!
