Hi all. I feel a bit of a fraud being here, but not sure if I should.
After a colonoscopy found a 9cm polyp and the biopsy showed it as benign, I had it removed via open hemi-cholectomy.
Afterwards the consultant said that his experience told him it was benign, but it had been sent off for investigation. 2 weeks later I heard that it had been cancerous, but they were satisfied it had all been removed; no need for chemo or radiotherapy.
This is where my conflict comes in. While I'm incredibly grateful that there was no period of time(and therefore worry) between diagnosis and removal, I'm still in a kind of shock... I had a cancer, then I didn't but I still have the consequences and I can't process it properly
