Sorry you're going through all of this... I would try not to panic until you get the full colonoscopy, and talk to your doctors more. I am a 35 year old female. I was seeing blood & mucous in my stool for a while and had a colonoscopy in Dec. 2014. My GI doctor found a 1.2 cm tubulovillous adeno...

I understand your concern, but try not to panic until you get a colonoscopy & see a GI specialist. Here in the U.S. depending on what type of insurance you have, sometimes you see your family doctor first, and then are referred to a GI specialist. Other times you can just call a specialist and s...

Get a colonoscopy by a GI specialist. I am 35/F. I was seeing blood & mucous in my stool for over a year. I saw a GI specialist about it in 2014, & he recommended a colonoscopy. During the colonoscopy, he found I had hemorrhoids from a previous childbirth, that I had diverticulosis, and a 1....

So sorry! Prayers for benign results!

I am so sorry... I can't imagine what you're going through... My husband is 43... that is just too young... You and your family are in my thoughts & prayers... God bless...

Hey there Colon Club, I'm just a little anxious and needed to chat with some people that know what I'm talking about. I recently went in for a colonoscopy because I had frequent rectal bleeding, mucus-filled stools, persistent diarrhea, intestinal cramping, and urgent bowel movements that had been ...

Hi redwiner, may I ask what type of polyp did you have, and what was the size? How old are you? I hope your surgery goes well, & you have a fast, quick recovery! Prayers...

That's awesome! So glad to hear everything went well! Hope you have a fast, easy recovery! May I ask what hospital did you have your surgery at?? John Hopkins, Cleveland clinic, etc.?? Best wishes...

I was 46 and quite ill when mine were discovered. Had much weight loss and poor appetite. They found both villious and tubulovillious. I had scopes every year until 3 years ago. (57 now) Polyps were removed each time until the last scope so they let me wait three years. Bad mistake. With your age I...

Mom2Two sorry your husband is going through this... My hubby is 43, & I'm a mom to two girls... I can't imagine how stressful this must be for you all. Prayers for good results for your husband!

I am so sorry. I am in the same situation as I have a large mass in my ascending colon. I was told years ago that the genetic alteration was already in that location. Now I have a mass. So as I wait for my surgery I take no comfort from the superficial biopsy. The thing I can tell you is that an in...

Have you been diagnosed with colon cancer yet? I hope not, 19 is so young... I do not have colon cancer myself, but will have to be screened for it every several years for the rest of my life though. I am 35/F. I was having blood in my stool for about a year and a half on and off, plus suffering wit...

That's wonderful it was caught early! Prayers you stay cancer free, and have normal future test results!

I know this post is a little old, but just wanted to say that is great news rangerlady! I am 35 years old. I had a 1.2 cm tubulovillous adenoma removed by colonoscopy last year. It was fortunately benign, but I now have to have more frequent scopes. When is your next scope scheduled? Mine is schedul...

I had one polyp removed last December. I was 34 at the time. It was a 1.2 cm tubulovillous adenoma polyp (rare for my age). It wasn't cancer, but was the type of polyp that can become cancer if not removed. The doctor got it out, and I am going to have a repeat colonoscopy next December. The biopsy ...
