"personal subject"
Love you, too
Hi all,
I don't usually talk about my personal life on here but there is something I want this community to know. First, I'm not leaving for any reason. So let's put that aside. Second, to make a long story short, I recently had a colon screening and there were some abnormalities. I had a full blown colonoscopy done and some benign polyps were removed. However, one is still inside of me. The doctor said on the surface it looks benign but will have to be cut out by another doctor. I live an hour and a half from Houston so, I'll will have to go to one of the largest cancer hospitals in the country and have it removed. He also said I was high risk for colon cancer. Now let me tell about my lifestyle. I do not drink alcohol, nor smoke. As you see from my pictures, I have lost some weight. I do not eat fast foods or a lot of processed sugars or drink sodas. I drink coffee, water, kombuchas and some times lemon water. I am also in the process of going back on Active Duty in Navy (long story) and am exercising more. You might be wondering how could I get such a diagnoses? It happens. No disease is a respector of persons. I will continue to this lifestyle and will continue to believer by faith that everything will work out. I have complete peace in that.

I rarely get serious on this board, but Andi and I are both medical (RT and nurse) and I cannot emphasize how true that statement is
Benign or not, anytime you get medical news like this is scary. It sounds like you have the right attitude though
We wish you all the best and stay positive! And for those that don't know, polyps are never a normal finding on a colonoscopy and should always be removed. On the plus side, they are often benign (non-cancerous).
Take care,

Please check your medications for side effects. When I was diagnosed with bladder cancer I kept having polyps come back even though I went through 5 rounds of chemo. I stumbled into an article late one night talking about strange side effects for diabetic medications. Turns out one of the side effects of one of my medications was polyps would grow. I stopped taking the med, started doing weed and the last chemo treatment worked. Haven't had a polyp in 4 years. Not sure if it was the med or the weed that did it. I doubt it was the chemo. I would say to start weed, but considering what is currently happening in your states legislature, those idiots are trying to get rid of their medical marijuana program. The GOP in their infinite wisdom are hanging on to that bullshit of weed being a gateway drug. Been on it for 4 years and have not moved on to any other drugs. Hell I don't even drink anymore. I have quite a few bottles of liquor that haven't been touched in years.
I hope they get all your polyps and no more come back.

Wow, respect for sharing that, and all possible best wishes for full and complete recovery.
And yeah, there's a lot of utter bull out there about "healthy lifestyles", most of it peddled by people who make an awful lot of money out of making other people feel guilty about enjoying nice food.
All possible good luck, and thanks for raising an important and often overlooked topic.

I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in the early 2000s. I was maybe 21 or 22 years old. Consequently, I have had quite a few colonoscopies. Seems like there's always polyps that they remove with the sigmoidoscope for testing. I've never had one cancerous (always benign) even though I, too, am in a high risk group for colon cancer. My greatest fear since the diagnosis is that I will ultimately need a colectomy and be required to use a colostomy bag. So far, so good; biologics have come far in the last few decades. My advice to you is not to worry until it's time to worry. Take the necessary steps to get screened regularly, and then, hard though it may be, forget about it until you get the results. No sense giving yourself anxiety until there's something to be anxious about.
