Two days after my first colonoscopy, my doctor phoned me to tell me that there was another small polyp. She wanted to perform a second colonoscopy as soon as possible to remove the polyp because the four polyps she had removed were precancerous. One of those four polyps was stage 3 precancerous. So she wanted to tattoo the area so that she could keep an eye on it during future colonoscopies.
She jokingly suggested that she could tattoo my wife's name near the polyp, but my wife said that was not the preferred site for her name.
Last Thursday, ,I went in for my second colonoscopy. They found and removed the polyp and also removed a small suspicious looking area without breaching the colon wall.
I was very lucky. Neither the colon nor the small area was precancerous. She told me to come back in a year for another colonoscopy.
