Hi everyone
So after 1 year of symptoms of constipation and heavy rectal bleeding, low b12 I decided to get things checked. From 1st app with gp to my colonoscopy yesterday it was only 3 weeks.
I had a colonoscopy 9 years ago and only 1mm polyp was found and removed.
so was shocked yesterday to find that there where 3 polyps
1st one is 15mm
2nd one is 25mm
3rd is 30mm this one shocked me because of how it looked. A bit like a cauliflower is the only way to describe it.
the large one is the one that’s been bleeding.
the large polyp and 15mm are near my rectum.
my bowel was inflamed aswell.
I also may have another polyp but they weren’t completely sure due to the mucus in my bowel.
10 biopsies taken and I’ve been referred for an urgent ct scan which means taking the bowel prep again. Gross
I’m hoping they aren’t cancerous but I just have a feeling they or some Of them will be.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
