  • Hello ellisd777 and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear you are undergoing tests at the moment and imagine this must be a worrying time for you.

    We cannot fully interpret test results without being directly involved in your care. However it seems from your report that an area of polyps (growths) were found during your colonoscopy. The doctor sent off some biopsies ( tissues samples) and one of the polyps during the procedure and are awaiting the results of these. 

    It also suggests that they are planning on removing the other polyps at a later date during another procedure. They cannot be sure whether cancer is present at the moment and only the histology reports will be able to confirm this.

    I hope this helps. Sit tight for now and try and take things one step at a time until you know more.

    I hope everything turns out okay for you and you know more very soon. Please get back to us if you need to. You are welcome to call us on 0808 800 4040 if you prefer, we are here 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Best wishes

    Naomi
