bowel polyps

Hi im Cheryl ,

I as wondering if anyone else has had the same experience but i was dignoised with stage 2 rectal cancer in Jan last year and had surgrey to remove it. The surgrey was sucessful and i didnt have any other treatment thankfully. Im under my consultant for the next 5 years had a ct scan in december just gone and was clear. 

I went for my colonscopy thursday 20th feb 2020  they found 3 polyps which my consultant said they look positive but i cant help thinking the worst until the results come back. Im worried out of my mind i just think what happens if they missed the polyps of the last year. 

  • Hello Chezza18

    I'm sorry to hear that your recent colonoscopy has revealed more polyps. I think it's totally understandable that you're feeling concerned about them but for the moment try and focus on the fact that your Consultant, who has many years of experience, didn't think they were anything to worry about and your recent CT was also clear. 

    We know that waiting for results can be really difficult and I hope that you don't have to wait too long to hear some news. 

    If you think it would help to talk through your worries with one of our nurses then you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040 (Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm). 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
