26 biopsies taken during colonoscopy this week. No polyps found as far as i am aware. It didnt mention them on report. Report states suspected new IBD case. Is there a chance these biopsies will show cancer?

Hello shopoholic15
I'm sorry to hear that you're currently waiting for biopsy results following a colonoscopy earlier this past week. It's natural to be anxious about what the results may show.
Did the team give you any idea when you may hear some news? Hopefully, it won't be too long but in the meantime, try to avoid searching google for information as this often leaves people feeling more anxious. Keeping busy and thinking positively can help the time pass more quickly. If you want to talk to someone about your concerns you're welcome to call our nurses on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
I hope that you have some reassuring news soon.
Best wishes,
Jenn
