minus-squarejordanlund@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 days ago56, I started having problems with anemia last year, doc ran it to see where my blood was vanishing to, found 17 polyps but no cancer. But the rule of thumb is, if they find more than one, you come back and do it again. 6 more + stage 2 cancer. It didn’t make it out of the colon though, so the surgery got it all. I just don’t have a sigmoid colon anymore. So, yeah prep sucks, but get checked!
