Colonoscopy biopsies

Hi,

I had a colonoscopy today after experiencing rectal bleeding. The consultant took biopsies from 4 areas and also found haemorrhoids. I'm not sure if these biopsies are routine or because he saw something abnormal? He seemed quite relaxed about everything so I assume he didn't see anything suspicious but I was just wondering if any of you got results showing cancer from biopsies despite a seemingly clear colonoscopy?

Thanks in advance x

    Hi

    Ive had Biopsy's taken a few times and they will usually say if there is anything sinister as they can't hide it, the fact that they said nothing is a good thing. I've also had Polyps removed that have turned out to be nothing but they said they looked normal at the time. Good luck but I wouldn't be too worried think you would have been given an indication at the time if they were worried.
