Hello everyone,
First time posting and don’t really know where to turn. My wife is 25yo and 2 months ago during her yearly check up the doctor felt a bump on right side of abdomen. Sent her in for a CT scan to be safe. CT scan discovered swelling in intestine. CT scan showed everything else as being fine. This led to her getting a colonoscopy 2 weeks ago in which an abnormal mass was found. Biopsy was done and GI doctor called back 3 days later to state that biopsy came back as noncancerous but suggested that she have a partial colectomy to remove this part of her colon. This surgery is now scheduled for tomorrow.
We are both still very scared of both the surgery and the results from the surgery. Both the GI doctor and the surgeon are unsure what is this mass and we were told that at times a clean biopsy isn’t always clean. She is not showing anything in terms of symptoms other than some light pain and discomfort stemming from where the mass is.
So I’m here hoping that maybe someone has had a similar experience and would share that with me.
Thanks everyone
