I just returned (yea!) to my primary care doctor and right out of the gate I'm catching up.
After having some swallowing issues before the colonoscopy tests date I ended up with an endoscopy and a colonoscopy on the same morning. Doc took out 3 "pre-cancerous" polyps from the colon. He felt like they were nothing but I've yet to hear the results. The endoscopy revealed a hyatal hernia that he's treating initially with Prilosec. My radiation 5 years ago was in that general area but he didn't see that as an issue after the endoscopy.
