It's understandable to feel anxious about the polyp removal! Choosing between traditional and cold knife surgery is a big decision. I've heard recovery times can vary, but taking time off work to heal properly sounds wise. Sometimes, managing stress helps too! Distracting myself with fun, simple things, like a quick break to play Slope Game, can clear my head. Hope you get some clear answers from your doctor soon, and that everything goes smoothly. Rest is key!
