       This can be an uncomfortable or difficult conversation for some.  It is, however, incredibly important and incredibly necessary.I recently had my first colonoscopy.  They removed polyps which I just learned were benign.  (Phew)What I wanted to share was information relayed by my doctor in his letter about the results."The type of polyp removed is referred to as 'adenoma.'  This type of polyp, when not removed can grow larger over many years and has the potential to turn into a colon cancer."  Due to that sentence, I felt the need to do a #PublicServiceAnnouncement.Here is more information:https://www.cancer.org/cancer/colon-rectal-cancer/detection-diagnosis-staging/acs-recommendations.html
