So last year when I got the results back from my colonoscopy the doctor indicated I should come back in one year. I called and spoke to him to ask why and he said nothing to worry about just wants to check again because I had precancerous polyps which he removed.
Today when I went for my consult, he came in and immediately said that he didn't know if he mentioned it to me but there was a certain type of polyp on the "wall" which they normally do not remove because they are usually not precancerous, but the biopsy came back that it was so now he does have to remove it.
I am a pretty slow thinker and later it dawned on me- aren't they suppose to remove all polyps when they are doing the procedure? I mean- why would he not take out the polyp anyway at the time- precancerous or not?
Now I have to go through this again and not only that- I have to pay a few thousand dollars again out of pocket!! And my husband is due now for his so we will have to pay for that out of pocket as well.
Am I missing something here?
