Hi @golfngal - I believe I had three colonoscopies in one year, after one of the "polyps" removed at my first ever one turned out to be neuroendocrine cancer. I thought that was a lot of colonoscopies, but sounds like you are the true veteran expert. 🙂 (The end of the story: After much testing, I have no cancer left in my body. I will have another colonoscopy every 2-3 years for now).

You mentioned you have 3 or 4 ulcerative colitis flares per year and manage it with sulfasalazine and prednisone. For how long do you have to be on these medications each time? Do they help tame the flare quickly?
