Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I'm so glad to hear things went well, Dixie. Noreen [ ] Dan's Biopsy Report Dan's Dr. called. Everything is basically OK. They actually removed three polyps. There are 3 different kind of polyps: 1 never becomes cancerous, 1 takes years to become cancerous, and 1 is much more aggressive and is the one to watch for. Dan had one of each type polyp; the 3rd one was pre-cancerous. So once again, early detection has been the key to good health. He does need to have a colonoscopy on a regular basis because of the 3rd type polyp. He also has diverticulosis and hemmorhoids. He needs to change his diet from the high protein, high fat, high carb diet he loves so much, and start eating much lower fat, and lots of fruits and veggies, especially roughage. Once again, we have been blessed. Thank you all for your prayers. They are much appreciated. Love, Dix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Dixie, what good news! Is there a history of colon cancer in Dan's family? My grandfather died of colon cancer, my uncle found his early enough and surgery to remove the polyps was successful. I had colon surgery (due to diverticulitis) when I was 42 to remove 2 ft. of my colon because the polyps were too numerous to remove. I didn't realize how ill I was until I recovered from the surgery and felt so wonderful. I know that the tests are no fun but they can save your life. I urge everyone to include tests to detect colon cancer in their routine physicals after 40.
