What I learned from the full abdominal ultrasound prior to colonoscopy: It is a comprehensive, painless check‑up for the body’s ‘engine room.’ Using high-frequency sound waves instead of radiation, this non‑invasive scan allows doctors to view internal organs in real time, assessing their size, shape, and overall health.

​A complete abdominal ultrasound examines seven primary organs.

​1. The Liver: The largest solid organ in your abdomen. The ultrasound checks for signs of fatty liver disease, enlargement, cirrhosis (scarring), or cysts.

​2. The Gallbladder: Sitting just under your liver, this small pouch stores bile. The scan is highly effective at spotting gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder wall.

​3. The Pancreas: Tucked behind your stomach, the pancreas aids digestion and regulates blood sugar. The ultrasound checks it for signs of pancreatitis or abnormal growths.

​4. The Spleen: Located on your upper left side, the spleen filters your blood. Doctors check its size to ensure it isn't enlarged due to infection or liver issues.

​5. & 6. The Kidneys (Left & Right): You have two of these waste-filtering powerhouses. The scan evaluates both kidneys to rule out kidney stones, cysts, fluid blockages, or tumors.

​7. The Urinary Bladder: An ultrasound of the bladder and urethra checks how well the bladder holds and empties urine while looking for structural abnormalities like wall thickening, blockages, stones, or tumors.

​The Bonus Structure - Abdominal Aorta. This is the main blood vessel supplying the lower body. It should be checked to rule out any dangerous bulging, known as an aneurysm.

✨ My 40-Day Colonoscopy Journey

Since April 26, I’ve experienced firsthand over the past 6 weeks why early detection matters.

When cancer is found at an early stage, survival rate can reach 90–95%, giving patients a far greater chance at recovery and long-term health.

Charles Schulz, the beloved creator of the comic strip Peanuts, once emphasized that each of us can make a difference in colorectal cancer awareness and health. Sadly, Schulz himself had been privately battling colorectal cancer just 3 months before his death from a heart attack in February 2000. His story reminds us that even those who bring joy to millions may face silent struggles — and that awareness, screening, and timely action are essential.

On May 13, an ultrasound of the whole abdomen, PSA test, blood chemistry, and complete blood count with platelets were performed. The FIT results were obtained on May 25. On May 29, I underwent an X-ray and ECG. Pre-operative cardiopulmonary clearance was completed on June 1. Bowel preparation was done on June 4, the night before the colonoscopy. 

On June 5, the colonoscopy procedure was performed. During the colonoscopy, if doctors see a polyp — a small growth inside the colon — they usually remove it right away (polypectomy). In my case, a non-cancerous polyp in descending colon was removed via cold snare polypectomy (JNET 2A). The tissue was then sent to the pathology lab, where specialists check if it’s harmless, precancerous, or cancerous. This step guides the next decisions for my care.

At the recovery room, after the anesthesia wore off, I was told to come back after 5 years for another colonoscopy. So I guess the polyp that was removed is a hyperplastic polyp. Hyperplastic polyps are benign, which means they are not cancerous, unlike adenomatous polyps, which are precancerous and have the potential to develop into colorectal cancer if left untreated.

The polyp biopsy pathology report was released on June 9, but I chose to receive it on June 18 so I can personally thank the gastroenterologist who treated me.

What I’ve learned about colon polyps and colorectal cancer.

🧬 What Is a Pre‑Cancerous Colon Polyp?

A colon polyp is a small growth on the inner lining of the colon. Some types, like adenomas or sessile serrated lesions, are considered pre‑cancerous because they can slowly change into colorectal cancer if not removed. Detecting and removing them during colonoscopy is one of the most effective ways to prevent cancer.

👩‍⚕️ What Is Early Onset Colorectal Cancer?

This refers to colorectal cancer diagnosed in people younger than 50. Rates have been rising worldwide, and lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors may play a role. Because it appears earlier than traditional screening ages, awareness of symptoms and family history is critical.

🌱 How Can I Lower My Risk?

Eat a high‑fiber diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

Limit red and processed meats.

Avoid smoking and heavy alcohol use.

Stay physically active and maintain a healthy weight.

Follow your doctor’s advice on screening intervals if you’ve had polyps or have family history.

🩺 What Is Screening and When Does It Start?

Screening means testing for cancer before symptoms appear. The most common test is a colonoscopy, which allows doctors to find and remove polyps.

For average‑risk adults, screening usually starts at age 45.

If you have family history or certain risk factors, it may start earlier.

⚠️ What Symptoms Should Take Me to the Doctor?

Seek medical attention if you notice:

Blood in stool or rectal bleeding

Persistent changes in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation)

Unexplained weight loss

Abdominal pain or cramping

Fatigue or anemia

💪 What Is My Chance of Beating This Cancer?

Colorectal cancer is highly treatable when caught early.

Stage I cancers have survival rates above 90%.

Even later stages benefit from modern surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies.

Regular screening and early detection dramatically improve outcomes.

🩺 What Happens When a Polyp Is Found?

During a colonoscopy, if doctors see a polyp — a small growth inside the colon — they usually remove it right away (polypectomy). The tissue is then sent to a pathology lab, where specialists check if it’s harmless, precancerous, or cancerous. This step guides the next decisions for your care.

🌱 What a Polyp Is

A colon polyp is a tiny bump that grows on the inner lining of the colon or rectum.

Some are harmless.

Others, called adenomas, can slowly turn into cancer if not removed.

That’s why finding and removing them early is so important.

-https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15370-colon-polyps

📊 How Common Are Polyps?

Polyps are very common. By age 50, about 1 in 4 to 1 in 3 adults will have them. Screening helps catch them before they cause problems.

⚠️ Why Removal Matters

Most colorectal cancers begin as polyps.

Removing them during colonoscopy can prevent cancer from developing.

Follow‑up colonoscopies are scheduled based on the size, number, and type of polyps found.

👉 In short: Polyps are common, but colonoscopy and removal are powerful tools to protect your health.
