Polyps

Hi I had a colonoscopy, I am now waiting to go for a ct scan as they could not get all the way round . They have found polyps they couldn't get them all and have done a few biopsies.  Not sure if its from the polyps or from something else . 

My father had bowel cancer in his 50s . I know I shouldn't worry to much till we have a full picture . But why would they not take all the polyps?

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am afraid that because we are not involved in your care we cannot answer your question. It is best answered by the doctor that carried out the procedure. So you will have to wait for the result of the biopsies and then you will have a chance to ask any questions you have.

    Waiting for the results of tests and investigations can be difficult. I hope you have friends and family close by to give you support.

    You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
