Re: does pre-cancerous require surgery?

I agree with Greg. Some sessile polyps CAN be snared by a very proficient GI who is practiced in the procedure, but most of the instances you read about where a precancerous polyp is removed during the colonoscopy are NOT sessile; they are like little "fingers" sticking up off the colon wa...

Re: does pre-cancerous require surgery?

As you will see from my signature, I had similar surgery last October for a sessile polyp that for lack of better term might be called 'PRE-pre-cancerous." Long story, and you're welcome to search for details back in earlier threads, but I wanted to back up what SkiFletch said and just add anot...

Re: Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection

Curvygirl, I have no experience or knowledge of the procedure you're interested in (although I do remember reading about it last fall while researching in general). However, I hope you won't mind if I toss in my two cents' worth about resection. You don't mention any other factors, such as location ...

Re: Request for chickens UPDATE 2/18

Haven't posted in forever but still check in from time to time. I had to chime in with prayers and encouragement. My older brother had an autologous stem-cell transplant for lymphoma in late 2005 at age 59. Here we are in 2013, seven years later, and he is still "professoring" full-time at...

Re: Fast growing polyps

Hi, TMS. I am sure there will be others with more knowledge and experience coming along, so let me ask a couple of questions that I know might be pertinent before I offer you my meager contribution. 1. How old is your wife? 2. Was the colonoscopy four months ago her very first one? 3. What was the p...

Re: Repeat of old - what to take to the hospital for surgery

Re: Kims' comment, I hate hospital gowns, too, and went prepared with two pairs of pajamas (looked far and wide to try to find ones with very loose waistbands). However, as someone else on here had commented, I never wore them. First of all, I had an IV until the night before I was discharged (too h...

Re: Repeat of old - what to take to the hospital for surgery

Here is one thread I found by looking at a list of my old posts: http://coloncancersupport.colonclub.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35420 I didn't take the time to read back through the whole thread, so I might be repeating, but here are a couple of other things that had been suggested that I found tru...

Re: To seed or not to seed

Not sure if the section of the colon makes a big difference, but I haven't found anything I can't eat after a right hemicolectomy. I was braced for anything from "no problem" to "be careful with A, B, and/or C." I was most apprehensive about popcorn and raw veggies (carrots, caul...

Re: Don't want to insult/hurt feelings, but I am scared!

It's a GOOD thing that they're moving right on with the surgery and an even better situation that the doctor feels he can work laparoscopically. I remember you said at the beginning that the whole hospital experience is a scary factor for you, so I encourage you to search this site for threads about...
