Hi im mike new here it sounds sinister but usually not polyps are quite usual like a cyst and can be successfully removed very few on occassions are found to be cancer but its a rare possibility 

Thanks Mike. I suppose all we can do it wait for pathology results. I have googled and it does say it's unlikely to be cancerous so that's made me feel better.  Just seems strange that they told him different information. 

His symptoms have been quite bad and as much as I'm Soo happy nothing bad has come back, we still don't have answers. I can't see a small polyp causing the issues he has had.
