Great News Polly.

Guess that will inspire me to take more Vitamin D. Just trying to stop all of the meds/pills. Hate them.

Waiting to hear about the biopsy results.

Love, Maggie

Thanks, Mags! I hear you about not wanting to take lots of meds, but perhaps taking adequate vit. D will ultimately help to decrease the need for so many meds. It apparently is needed in so many body functions from head to toe. I'll be interested to see the biopsy results too, since it has been 10 years now since my original diagnosis. I'm away at the beach this week (Rehoboth Beach, DE), so I'm hoping the results will be in the mail when I arrive home. Stay tuned..........................

Charlotte, what an amazing history your hubby has had with the polyps! Whew. Do you think he'll listen to you about the vitamin D? It certainly couldn't hurt and actually might make a big difference. It was my G doc about 2 years ago who first told me about the research showing that vitamin D could help prevent polyps from forming. (I'm not sure what effect it has on exisitng polyps, if any).

Love,

Polly

SO glad all went well, in fact - better than well since you didn't have any polyps. Do you think the biopsy will return with no sign of MC? Just wondered which way you were leaning about that.

Love, Shirley
