Hello again,
3cm polyp removed. Consultant says that biopsy result shows low grade dysplasia. He recommends a follow up colonoscopy at 6 months. I should be delighted - right?!? I realise that a high percentage of polyps this size are cancerous and that so many of you have much greater problems to deal with. So....my question is....should I be grateful and wait the 6 months? Is there any need to request the biopsy report for more detail. (I'm in UK - so you are made to feel like a bit of a drama queen if you add to the huge paperwork / red tape burden our NHS staff are under). Should i enquire if the polyp was on the right or left side? What's the odds of it returning or getting cancer?. Etc. Etc. (Any other questions I should ask?). Or should I just sit back and enjoy the fact that I am presently cancer free.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
(Having an apprehensive celebratory glass of wine).
Thinking and praying for all of you in a worse situation.
Lots of love
Julie
