Dr. Huang,

Thanks for the message. This is why I need to do the test, and I had been requesting to do so for years.

A few questions for you:

1. Is Alendronate the same as Fosamax?

2. For the abdominal pain issue, my father had polyps in his mid-70s, I guess. I have no clue what type of polyps he had. Also, you mentioned I had a colonoscopy back in 2/2012, but it has been 5 years.

3. My ESR is high; beyond the normal range. I know it's kind of a warringwarning sign, but what does it exactly indicate? A certain type of cancer? If so, what are the next steps for me? Please advise.

Thank you for your time and help!
