Were you officially told that it was Stage 1?
Are you sure that this is not Stage 0?
2 cm of clear margin with pedunculated polyp seems like Stage 0 for me.

During 1st visit the breast cancer surgeon noticed a mole on my breast. Asked me about it and I replayed that I have been going for regular check ups to a local dermatologist.

My onc kept telling me that everything is fine They always deliver more positive message unless they are almost sure about a worst outcome. That's the way they work and we just need yo accept it. :( there were two tiny spots that showed up on my left lower lung. They may have been missed by a previ...

What is bilirubin level in your blood?
Do you have jaundice by any chance?

Almost everything that is healthy you can't eat.

Is it possible that this polyp was already present during the 1st colonoscopy?

mostlysunny77, I am not sure whether you understand that your family situation is not an isue. How you cope with this situation is real issue. I recommend getting a therapist for yourself. I would like to apply principles of modern health care ethics to answer your question. They are: 1. Autonomy 2....

What is a size of this "new" polyp?
