Wow I'm amazed at how many people have had one!

I think I might have to have one at some stage as my grandfather had a malignant bowel polyp and colon polyps are heriditary (he is ok now though, after surgery). I've only ever bled when my haemerroids flare up. These were the result of my pregnancies. It's been ages since a flare up though. I worry that the heamerroid bleeding might disguise any polyp bleeding though.

Anyhow... thanks for all your advice MG... I'm near heidelburg too.
