  • Hi Tia and welcome to the forum, although I'm sorry to hear what has happened since your polyp was confirmed by ultrasound last year.

    It's completely understandable to be feeling like this given everything you've been through but hopefully the appointment you'll be having at the end of the month will be able to give you some much needed answers and peace of mind.

    I'm sure some of our members who have been in a similar situation will stop by soon to offer their thoughts and advice, but if it would help to talk things through with someone, you can give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to answer your questions and support you whilst you wait.

    We're thinking of you Tia and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
