Given preliminary results with no discussion - Polyps

I’m 29 and was referred for a colonoscopy, they found a 10-19mm polyp which had white markings but felt like I was rushed out as it was the end of the day so didn’t get a chance to speak to anyone. It is a pedunctulated IP polyp which was found in the sigmoid. There was no discussion on whether it looks suspicious. The only thing I was told was 4-6 weeks wait for the results and the notes state suspected cancer take off pathway, I asked someone on the way out is this meant I had been removed off the urgent pathway and they said yes I think so. Bit frustrated that there wasn’t anyone to go through the outcome with me. Did anyone have this written on their results or have white markings on their polyps?

  • I'm sorry to hear about the polyp that was found during your colonoscopy BoBoPink and for the worry this is causing.

    Your GP may be able to tell you more and answer your questions about being taken off the suspected cancer pathway but hopefully some of our members who have had similar findings during their procedures will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    Waiting for results is always a testing time but I hope some of the tips and advice we have on our website will help to ease your mind whilst you wait.

    We're thinking of you BoBoPink and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

    Kind regards,
