Just a quick update to report that the two polyps removed from my colon during the colonoscopy came back as “tubular adenoma” polyps, which are the pretty normal, precancerous polyps that are found in most patients. Less than 9% of tubular adenomas become cancerous.

The doctor recommends doing a follow-up colonoscopy in three years.

On a related note, the blood in my stools has virtually disappeared since the procedure. There have been only two incidents where there was even a faint hint of blood, so that’s a good thing.

Hard to believe that [it’s already] December. How’d that happen?!?

Be well.
