3cm polyp found in bowel

I'm a 42 year old woman. I was taken in to the Surgical Assessment Unit Monday with abdominal pain and after a CT scan I was told I have a 3cm polyp in my bowel. I have had a cronogranin blood test and a 24 hour urine screening. The consultant is taking my details to a MDT meeting on Monday. 

 

I had a pretty awful experience at the hospital with them mixing my notes up and trying to treat me for a different issue so I have little confidence in them. 

 

Is the MDT meeting usual?

Does anyone else have a similar experience?

    Hello Cee, Tee,

                                Multi Disciplinary Team meetings are standard these days as all specialist sides put their findings and views forward to help assess the best course of treatment going forward..In my case it resulted in Chemo/Radiotherapy pre surgery,since l am still here 8 years on,l have to say that it promotes a better outcome,

                   hope all goes well,

                                                    David
