Right sorry Albi and lads for loosing my cool. It was a very tense time.
As for the procidure they discovered a medium size colonic polyp and removed it. Tests are pending to see if it was cancerous.
The Doc was rather worried bout the fact that I had them at all considering they dont normally occur till a mans 50's.
So waiting list or not. Paying cash might have seriously saved me rather than waiting 3, 6, or 12 months for the test.
Good to hear that and here's hoping that the test results come back as benign and nothing further to worry about.
Good to hear your prob Ok bloke, Dad sez polyp in people below 50 isnt as uncommon as some doctors think (due to diagnosis only after symptoms or reason to go looking) High blood pressure, drinking to excess often, smoking, a crap diet, and little excersise are all key factors. Even sitting upright without moving (using your core muscles) can add to other causes.
Good luck anyhow bloke. I'd eat an apple a day just in case.
That's good news Weasel, and here's hoping for even better news that it's benign
mate all good buddy health before anything ay!!
fingers and legs crossed for ya mate .
so a polyp is like a syst ??
Its a growth in mucus membranes anywhere in the body nose etc , look a little like a mushroom . There are flat ones to, if they are smaller than an inch they are usally not cancer. The growths can turn so when found are removed.
Edit: sorry
