Hello,
Does anyone have experience with AIN III? I have some questions.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Colorectal Cancer Support Group.

No need to be too concerned. It's a benign condition that can be treated relatively easily however these cells are abnormal and are unlikely to change so they need to be removed. I hope this article helps you

Thinking about this further I think it might be useful for you to ask your doctor to have these cells typed, and ask The probability of these cells converting to cancer if they are not treated

Good luck

Thank you for the information! I will look it over. I am hoping and praying all of it was removed during surgery but won't know until the specialist is able to check. Praying for all who are impacted with a diagnosis. This has been a crazy adventure.
