15mm polyp removed from colon waiting for results

Hi everyone,

I had a colonoscopy this afternoon where the doctor removed a 15mm Polyp from my colon, after suffering from irregular bowel movements and blood in my stool.The doctor told me he put through the testing as urgent and I will hear back within 2 weeks.I'm terrified that I have cancer and would really appreciate any advice or to talk to people that have gone through a similar situation.I also have a consistent pain in the lower left abdomen which the doctor said wasn't linked to the polyp as that was the cause of the bleeding.Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
