Dear Friends,

I am writing in sone much distress and bad feeling. 
I insisted that my husband does an endoscopy and Colonoscopy check after I noticed that he has been having rectal bleading every now and then to ensure he does not have an issue just to be proactive!

They performed both and we were surprised that they did collect biopsy from Antrum and body of the stomach although he didn't seem to have any remarkable or visible abnormality! They also found a polyp and removed it.

Please forgive as I may sound stupid to many of you but although the biopsy result came apparantly clear we both have panicked as we did not expect that remove part of stomach. We always here that there is a huge risk associated with biopsy of organs specially stomach and there is high chance of getting cancer as a result of that. He is furious that why he agreed to do that and I am feeling horrible that I suggested it. He does not trust the medical system and his depression has gotten worse. 

I have no one in the world but my husband and my 5 years old daughter.

Please share your thoughts and tell me if you had ever dealth with similar situation. How likely is it that he develops stomach cancer as the result of stomach biopsy he had?

Why do doctor unnecessarily put lives at risk without asking us prior to procedure that they would take biopsy even if there was not abnormalities?!? is that a common practice?

How can we prevent cancer now that he has been somewhat hurt.

Many thanks
