I will forever be indebted to him for finding my cancerous 24mm polyp September 4th, 2018. He has been a part of my treatment plan since that time, though I chose not to have Chemotherapy, BUT instead, chose Naturopath and he respected my decision. I am cancer free today, having had a Colonoscopy yesterday, and for the first time since I started having Colonoscopies, there were NO polyps.
