Thanks for the well wishes. I am also at home recovering now.
I hope it isn't TMI to say what I was in for.
It was discovered that I most likely have a generic mutation that makes my body prone to growing vast amounts of polyps in my colon. If anyone is curious, the condition is known as Familial Adenomatous Polyposis. I was having a completely unrelated issue looked at, and during a recommended colonoscopy it was discovered that I had over 100 precancerous polyps. This made the likelihood of developing colon cancer a near 100% certainty. It was just a matter of when. The doctors speculated it would be within 5 to 10 years. Since normal screening isn't until age 50 or so, this examination likely saved my life.
With so many polyps, the only viable treatment is surgical removal of the colon, which is what I had done last Tuesday. Thankfully, the surgery went as well as we were hoping and praying it would, and now I'm just recovering. I was supposed to be at the hospital for 3 to 5 days. Thankfully my recovery has been swift so far. I was only in the hospital for 2 days.
It's an ordeal, but I'm grateful it was caught when it was, because nothing has turned to cancer yet.
Thank you all for prayers on my behalf. They are much appreciated.
