Ten millimeters?

Finally got the results from my colonoscopy (see entries of 14 and 30 November). The polyp itself was totally benign, so that means it was not cancer. What is weird, though, is that the polyp was 10 mm in diameter. Ten millimeters? That's like half and inch! That's huge! What's something like that doing growing in my colon?

Well, everything is swell for now. They are recommending I go in for another colonoscopy in five years (because I had a polyp) rather than the usual ten years (when you have no polyps or symptoms). I guess that's okay.
