Well, I went ahead and found a new doctor, as per everyone's advice.
A female. I had an appointment with her today, and she was really cool.
She says there's only one polyp, and that if I want it removed, she can remove it in the office with only a local anesthetic. She didn't seem to think it would be any big deal. She said I should quit stressing out about it.
So I've got an appointment for early week after next to get it removed.
Even though they're benign over 99% of the time, I'm still kind of paranoid.
I was like, "So what do you think the chances are that this thing could turn out to be cancerous?"
She said, "At your age, none."
But after they remove it they'll send it in to a lab anyway.
So, I feel pretty good about this. I felt she understood my concerns and she took the time to answer my questions. I'm really glad I switched doctors. I'm still scared about having this thing removed, because I hate any kind of medical procedures, but I think it will be pretty minor. She says I'll be able to go back to work afterward, that same day.
So, you know... I'm getting it taken care of.
I feel that switching doctors was the right move.
Thanks for the advice, and I'll let y'all know how it turns out.
