Hi Jessica-Louise and thanks for posting.  Please accept my apologies, the last reply you read was posted in the wrong place and for another enquiry. 

Your reply is here:

It sounds like you are having a really worrying time at the moment.  Unfortunately we cannot tell you what your results are going to be but there are times when things that look suspicious don't turn out to be cancer after all.

Polypoid means like a polyp, there is more information from the NHS here about polyps, treatment and their link to cancer, which may be helpful.

The scan you are having will give more information about what is happening, but you will have to wait for the results.

Waiting for results can be a really difficult time, and people feel very anxious at this time.  You may not feel like it, but it can be helpful to carry on with the things that you normally do to keep yourself busy.  People often find arranging to see friends and family can be really useful and a welcome distraction. 

More than 9 out of 10 of bowel cancer cases are diagnosed in people over 50, but we do know it can affect younger people.  Please do remember that it is treatable and curable if it is found early.

I hope this helpful.  Sometimes it is useful to talk to someone outside the situation about what is happening

You might like to speak 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
