Hi Everyone!
Just want to start by saying that this site has been so helpful, I've been reading over so many peoples posts over the last couple of days!
I'm a 37-year-old male and last December (2018) I started noticing small amounts/streaking of bright red blood in my stool so my doctor ordered a Fecal Occult Test which came back positive. He got me in to see a specialist in February and I just had my Colonoscopy this past Friday (November 29).
During the colonoscopy the doctor noticed a single slightly large polyp (he didn’t say how big it was plus I was slightly sedated) which was completely removed and sent off to pathology, he also fixed up a hemorrhoid that he found.
After the procedure as I was being wheeled back to recovery all the doctor mentioned was to follow up with him in 2 weeks.
I made an appointment to see the specialist on the 17th and today (Wednesday) I just got a call from my family doctor’s office saying my family doctor wants to follow up with me sometime next week to go over my results. Now I’m terrified and am hoping it’s not bad news
Anyways, I just wanted to vent and get some support from y'all. Thanks for listening...
