All the polyps were less than a centimeter

Was that diameter or radius? Each or total? What were the weights? We need to know these things. :(

Politicians seem rarely to die of diseases like cancer that afflict most of us or people we know. Subjectively, it seems like the number who actually die from cancer is substantially lower than the number in the John Q. Public population.

They probably get more screening than the average citizen.

That said, having lost many family members to lung cancer and colon cancer, I would not wish the disease on... well, not very many of them (certainly not President Bush!)
