Re: ANAL DYSPLASIA AND CANCER GUIDELINES

I

was just treated 5 days ago ( August

19th ) at Boston Medical Center for a high grade anal dysplasia.

The

process went from anal pap smear ( which I am told is almost always

abnormal

( it was ) --> high resolution anuscopy ( which showed the

localized

dysplasia ) --> biopsy ( which looked even worse , but not cancer )

-->

IRC ( Infrared Coagulation ).

At

the time of the appointment, the doctor did another High Resolution

Anuscopy

just to double check everything.

There

is no preparation required except to stay away from aspirin for about

a

week before the procedure to avoid excessive bleeding .

I

also got a script for some pain killers which I have been using very

sparingly.

It

is not a super comfortable procedure, and not especially dignified either

(

wear a jockstrap for modesty and to keep your awesome junk out of the

way

), but it is not painful either.

The

device used in IRC ( Infrared Coagulation ) looks like a Star Wars

version

of those long snouted cigarette / candle lighters. And basically, they

do

" light it " up in dere.... but it's fine.

So

far, extremely minor bleeding, and normal bowel movements. Just be

careful

in between going to the bathroom to drink lots of water so that stool

remains soft and easy to evacuate.

The

procedure was done by Dr.

Stier who I cannot recommend

enough.

I think she is an angel, who knows her stuff, is kind, and made me

feel

more comfortable that I ever imagined given the fact that she was up my

ass

with a gun and some attending nurse. If

you can get the attending nurse

to tell you stories about her kids to distract

you... all the better... mine did.

The

whole thing takes about 30 - 45 minutes.

It is very bearable....put it this

way...the

dentist can be worse.

Dr

Stier wants High Resolution Anuscopy

become

the standard of care. If you search for

her on the internet, you will

find

a number of her published papers.

I

believe her to be the best of the best, and if

your

insurance covers it, she is so competant and so kind and decent that I

would

say travel to Boston to see her.

Once

this is done.... you will be getting an anal exam every 3 months... but

this

is so much better than having to see an Oncologist !

If

you have questions about my individual experience... please use this web

site

and not my direct email ; I would like as many guys as possible to have

the

information and not be afraid of this process or the procedure itself !

Sincerely,

Phil
