Hi, i went for a colonoscopy at the weekend and they were unable to fully do it as my intestines were too narrow. They are now sending me for an EMR in two weeks as they also found a polyp on my rectum that needs to be removed. Reading about EMR's they are only done when it is a very large polyp and maybe be cancerous. However they never told me how big the polyp was. I am so nervous and anxious about the procedure and results. Has anyone else been through this?
