Hi All,

Just needing a bit of a vent and trying to make sense of things I guess!

For the last year I've been experience severe cramps, diarrhea, and swollen stomach - I look 8/9 months pregnant at times and it's rock hard. Last December I had a colonoscopy that revealed a 3cm polyp in the transverse area of the colon. They weren't able to remove it at the time so arranged another appointment.

I finally had it removed via EMR polypectomy on Thursday last week. However when they got to it, it was actually now 9cm not 3cm. On the report they've said it's 'a very large 90mm Paris Isp villous (pit pattern IV) lesion.' 

It was a nightmare to remove, took them 2.5 hours and ended up so poorly at the end of the procedure and afterwards. They also found polyps in my appendix that they were able to remove, but if they come back dysplastic I will need an appendicectomy.

I have had a few small polyps over the years that were benign but never anything like this. I know it's silly just have a really bad feeling in my gut. 

He said pathology results would take 2-3 weeks. Only a week in and the waiting is awful.
