Yes be proactive .... be VERY proactive all the time !!!!!!!
Welcome to the forum
ASA ( even 81 mg daily ) can cause issues with other NSAIDs ( ibuprofen = Motrin / Advil ) at the levels hubby is taking them,
SO whoever has him on both should have had a discussion with him about that. Not everyone will be affected BUTT .... hubby has an individual situation and the docs need to deal with HIM as an individual.
"non-specific inflammation " simply may mean they cannot find a direct cause in the submitted samples, didn't have other info / tissues to expand the diagnosis, or didn't think it was relevant to a precancerous issue, didn't have special sample preparations to do specific specialized stains ..... ???
I would NOT assume they ruled out anything else so my blanket recommendation to everyone on this forum is :
ALWAYS ask more questions and push for answers which make sense to YOU and keep nagging until you get those answers.
MAYBE consider :
1 - ask Docs specifically about Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, Lynch syndrome or other hereditary colon cancer risks wrt recurring polyps
==>> Did you test for that ? What were the results ? Do we need to test for that now with this new information ? What happens if we don't test and this is actually the problem ?
My motto : " You will miss more for NOT looking .. than not knowing. " " If we don't even look ... what do you expect to find ? "
2 - get a pain management specialist on board to get different pain meds for hubby, or different treatments which do not cause GIT problems
Cheers and best wishes
