Polypctomy and colonoscopy

Hi Takayasu, this sounds as really positive news.  I am so happy for you and will keep my fingers crossed x

Hi Takayasu,

I had a sigmoid tumour which was cancer so ended up with a sigmoid resection back in september, all has gone well and bowel seems to be working well considering the operation therefore  i just wanted to reassure you that even if you have bad news its not the end of the world and can be fixed, hope all goes well

Hi Technical guru

ive just read ur profile - coincidentally I had a Pet scan that proved I had a rare disease called Takayasu but also found a primary suspect sigmoid cancer - hence a sigmoidoscopy 2 weeks ago where they found a 2.3cm polyp and the full colonoscopy and polypctomy I had yesterday . I must say the surgeon didn’t give too much away just said the polyp would be sent off. Did your pet scan result that led to the sigmoidoscopy seem fairly conclusive ? I’m feeling very positive this morning that I can cope with whatever is to follow - tbh the Takayasu is a vile ideas W to have and I’m very much in active disease so reckon I’m a tough old( young) bird 

Hi Takayasu,

Yes pet scan result led to sigmoidoscopy where they took biopsy of tumour, then was booked in for full colonoscopy after which they said rest of colon was clear but tumour was cancer which was what i was expecting  tbh

Good luck with your journey
