Colonoscopy found and removed polyp

Hello there I'm new on here 

I had a colonoscopy procedure last week had 8 random biopsies and a polyp removed. I was given a report afterwards of where polyp was removed and biopsies taken,  it also read assured of no sinister pathology. Just waiting for my pathology results to come back from lab but so nervous, I can't sleep and I'm panicking all the time my anxiety and stress levels are through the roof, I don't want to worry my partner but just need someone to talk too.

Thank you

    Hi

    It is normal that if they find polyps they remove them while they are in there.

    Also to take biopsies just to be sure.

    I've had bowel cancer and need yearly colonoscopies now.

    If you need someone to talk to ring the nurses on here, they will be able to ease your worries.

    They told you nothing sinister so that's the main thing xx
