Hello Paul

Dysplasia is a general term for the abnormal cells. Low grade means slight abnormality. It doesn't mean cancer. So that's good news. Low grade dysplasia is in itself not dangerous but can develop into a high grade dysplasia which in turn can develop into a colon cancer. Low grade dysplasia is in itself not dangerous but I suspect regular check ups might be advised. Do ask your doctor for more information on what it means and what the management plan is.

Best wishes

I know what you mean Paul. Before my reconstructive surgery I couldn't talk hardly at all so people used to shout at me or ignore me completely and talk to Haze instead. It was like being invisible sometimes Smiler. Hagg.

Hi there guys, Hagg you say about being ignored ect, Well I thought I was realy being Paranoid about things that happen to me until I met Mel from the MCF site and we chatted and seemed she had the same experiences as me and was good to know it was not me being Paranoid as the proffesionals like me to believe.
Not matter what anyone says and Mel agreed when you get stared at or talked about so you can hear you NEVER get used to it and your confidense goes everytime.

Yeah I agree Paul. I was offered surgery which luckily could rectify my problems but I really didn't want any more ops, just felt I had to because of the ignorant tossers I had to deal with on a day to day basis. Hope the job is going well Paul. Hagg.
