I recently had a colonoscopy, which revealed tubulovillous adenoma, 1 CM, with focal high grade cell dysplasia. The doctor removed the polyp, with a diagnosis appearing to be free of dysplasia.
Frankly, I am from the Boston area and now reside in Florida. I have a LOT more confidence in a Boston doctor's opinion. I am 54 years old, smoke and drink occasionally.
The doctor suggests I have another colonoscopy in 6 months. Do you think there is any reason for me to seek a second opinion. I have a number of friends who have had pre-cancerous cells. All but one have had further testing done with ensuing surgery.
Thank you.
Susan
