I'm on the "frequent customer" program these days. I had a colonoscopy at 38 due to some other GI issues, and they found a couple of pre-cancerous polyps. Thankfully, my brother (age 48) did one a while after and was fine.
So they find a polyp up in there they just cut it out or do they have to test then go back in and cut it out later?
