I'm a worry wart too daisymae, a terrible worrier!

Hi daisymae, no he didn't say if it did or not. Just that he removed it all, come back in 3 years. Mine was 1.2 cm. I'm supposed to see him in jan., and plan to ask him. I am trying to find out if anything else was written in the path report. After I talk to him & get further path report info, I...

He did want to see me in 3 years by the way, but I think I want to be seen sooner.

Thanks o stoma Mia. From what I have read about these adenomas I am wondering the same questions. The doctor sent me a letter saying he completely removed it all, but this path report doesn't seem to give any details that he did. I am thinking of going to Cleveland clinic or Vanderbilt for a second ...

Oh ok thank u so much! All of this is new to me. This is a wonderful forum. Do the benign tubulovillous adenomas grow back once excised? Sorry so many questions... Lol yes, my GI seems like a good doctor, but is very busy & has a rushed bedside manner. He didn't explain much!

Ok thank you so much for your reply. I plan to call my GI doctor's office as well Mon. & see if there's a longer report.

Hi my GI doctor diagnosed me with a sigmoid colon polyp after colonoscopy this past Dec. 1, and removed it polypectomy. He sent me a letter saying that it was a tubulovillous adenoma, follow up with him in 3 years. The path report was not with the letter, so I sent for it from his office. Today what...

Oh ok, thanks. No sorry it was larger than that, my bad, it was 1.2 cm.

Hi Daisymae, I was just diagnosed with a tubulovillous adenoma. It was 1.2 cm in the sigmoid colon. I just received a letter from my GI doctor saying he removed it all by polypectomy. He forgot to send the path report with the letter, so I have sent for it. I haven't gotten it yet. I was just wonder...

Hi, I'm new to the forum, & glad I found it. I've been hanging around here a few days reading others posts. I am 34/F from Virginia, USA. I've been married 14 1/2 years, & am a mom of two girls. I have not been diagnosed with colorectal cancer, but was recently told by my GI doctor that I ha...

One other question I forgot to ask the other day was, does benign mean there's no dysplasia at all in a polyp?

Oh ok, thank you so much for your detailed reply. It has put my mind at ease some. All of this is new to me & it's confusing. I'm an LPN, however we just touched briefly on colon cancer in nursing school, didn't really get in to the pathology aspect of it. This is a wonderful forum. I am so glad...

Hi, thanks for your reply. I got a letter from my GI doctor today. His letter said that he removed a tubulovillous adenoma in my sigmoid colon. His letter said he removed it completely, & to follow up in 3 years. I know this is one of the more dangerous colon polyps, and is rare in my age group ...

skoliv, did you get an answer on what type of polyp you have yet? I am new here and this is my first post. Been hanging out here a few days & finally joined the forum. I'm 34/F from east coast, USA. I was seeing some blood & mucous in my stool on and off the last few months, so I made an app...
