So to recap on my story I have a type of polyp.in my.duodenum which can become cancerous. So I guess I am lucky it has been found 'in time'.  I have had a CT scan of chest and abdomen which found nothing to worry about.  An attempt is to be made to remove the polyp via EMR - endo mucosal resection.  I go into hospital on Wednesday for surgery the next day.  I attended for pre op assessment this week.  The nurse said she had on my notes gastrectomy and colonoscopy.  The latter I understand and I do want this done.. I am finding the past  3.5 months of working through to this point a bit frustrating.  Have been shunted from one professional to another with nobody seemingly taking the lead and giving me an overview of things.  So on hearing about a gastrectomy am I to have part of my stomach removed together with a portion of my duodenum?!  Has anybody any experience to share please?  I have healthy pancreas and bile duct so guessing they would not look to do a Whipple.  Anybody?
