I just got the results of my three biopsied polyps today on MyChart. Thankfully, all are benign. I don’t know why they are benign and not beseven or beten. At least, they are not malignant.

I wasn’t super worried. But, given my history of ovarian cancer and the fact that both of my grandparents had colon cancer, I was a teensy weensy concerned. All three of my polyps were teensy weensy, too.

I am glad that is all over for now. As I said in my earlier posts, I was all pooped out in more ways than one.

My gastroenterologist told me that instead of seeing her every ten years, I would have to see her in three years because of those darn polyps. Maybe she will change it to five!

I can’t bear the idea of having to go through drinking that nasty prep and having it go through me All Night Long again. That makes me think of Lionel Ritchie. I need more than three years to get over that!

I guess I should be Dancing on the Ceiling about my results. Given that I can’t even dance on the floor, I think that is out of the question. I will be Three Times a Lady instead.
