My last colonoscopy and stool occult test was done in XXXXXXX 2015. A polyp was removed during the colonoscopy. I have had no other illness except for a couple of ear infections this summer which we are attributing to my regular swimming. I take amlodepine 5 mg, a low dose aspirin daily and 10 mg. zyrtec daily.

it was not malignant. I can't remember the term he used. I was told to have another colonoscopy in 3 yrs rather than 5. They also did an endoscopy at the time and nothing out of the ordinary was found.
