lollipop polyp

Got the pathology back today on my little operation from Friday and I'm happy to report a benign diagnosis. On the slightly more scary side is the fact that he did let me know that the polyp was quite large and could've changed for the worse had I waited a few more months to have myself checked out.

Moral of this story? GO TO THE DOCTOR! You know who you are. Stop dawdling and making up excuses. Just go.

But enough about you. Back to me.

The doctor let me know that I'll have to have another colonoscopy in a year because it's unusual for someone my age to have developed something like this. I started to slump a bit, but he made up for it by describing my pedunculated polyp as a lollipop. Maybe it was the relief of finding out that I'm cancer free, but I couldn't stop giggling to myself after hearing that.

I remember when going to the doctors meant that I came home with a lollipop. Must be a sign of age to go in and have one removed.

I suddenly feel the need to get my ass checked!
As for the new site... there's a good bit about you coming down the road!
