@jrsklms I had a flat ploy as well that they couldn't remove with an EMR procedure. MIne was located in the Cecum. The last thing I wanted was surgery. I had zero symptoms expect for H-Pylori which I caught in some third world country. A bacteria infection in my stomach. I researched a lot of options. That's when I called Mayo Clinic, the GI department is number 1 in EMR procedures. My flat polyp was in a bad spot. It laid along the appendix opening. I as well, had zero symptoms related to anything wrong with the colon. Or do I have immediate family with a history. Only distant family members with colon issues.. I ended up having to have surgery to remove a foot of my colon.

You need to seek out a top doctor who is highly skilled in EMR procedures. IF the polyp is too deep, they can't remove it via an EMR procedure. In order for them to remove it through an EMR procedure, it has to lift when they inject it with saline (I think that is what they Use) . Mine didn't lift. So they had no choice but remove it by surgery.

My polyp on two prior colonopspy's showed precancerous cells. I had these colonopspy done one in October, one in November and one in December. Then another one done six months after the surgery. With each and every surgery they found 3 to 4 additional polyps.

I am what the doctors refer to as a Polyp Farmer. Ya hit 50 and the body starts doing all kinds of crazy things..

When they removed it. The biopsy showed an andenocarcinoma arising. I'm lucky they got it all before it caused any problems. I do not need treatments. I just need a colonopspy every year. A CT scan every six months and blood work every three months. My blood work is perfect and I honestly don't notice any changes in my body after this surgery.

Except I gained 15 pounds, ugh, from not doing anything for 4 months after my surgery.

That is the only battle I'm am now fighting.. After 50 it is harder to loose weight. ☺️...

My advice please get a couple of second opinions. DO not rely on one Dr's opinion, lab tests or advice. The last thing you need is some Dr messing up your life.. GO see a Dr at a top medical facility and make sure they are colon rectal surgeon. THe Dr's at Mayo clinic were so top notch. I only needed Tylenol for pain killers after I got home five days after surgery. Two Tylenol over the counter pills every six hours..

I wish you the best..
