I'm a 31 year old female and I want to preface and say that I have severe anxiety disorder. I don't want to write a long drawn out story, but this spring possibly early summer I had bowel problems and some blood. In July I went to the ER with diverticulitis. That has cleared up but they wanted to do a colonoscopy. I had that procedure done today. Doc said he removed a large polyp, can't remember how big but it was large. I think around an inch. I asked him if he thought it looked cancerous and he said in his experience (which he's been a gastroenterologist over 20 years) that it did not. I know that nothing is certain until I get reports back from the pathology. He said he found the polyp by my diverticulosis pockets.
Right now I'm not in a good place. I'm terrified and I have already googled too much. So much that I know bigger polyps are likely to be cancerous. The doctor didn't act concerned at all. I have a 2 year old. I don't have the mental ability right now to be strong .
