Re: 14 year old boy with high grade dysplasia polyp
Good grief! This scares the shit out of me. So great you had him checked and it was found. What prompted a colonoscopy so young?

Re: 14 year old boy with high grade dysplasia polyp
This is not the first time I have heard of this. There is an old member here something like Harleymom who"s son was diagnosed with CC in his teens. It was a miracle, he survived, last I heard he was a healthy young man. I know of a family who's kids started getting scoped at age 10 simply because Mom was diagnosed in her 20's with CC. Very rare, butt it has happened.
On another site many many years ago, a young boy at around age 16 was found to have many polyps, Mom wanted her son to get a permanent colostomy (ie all of colon removed) and avoid colon cancer. While I understood her fears, 16 is a young age to deal with a bag especially for gym and showers and class mates. My recommendation, get scoped every 6 months until he was 18/21, of legal age to make his own decision.
What is his Dr saying would be the next best course? Monitor?
All the best to you and your son.

Re: 14 year old boy with high grade dysplasia polyp
With the size of my tumours, it would have made sense that I had polyps starting between 16-18. I'm so glad he's had it removed. Personally I'd scope every year or two until there are a few clean then spread out to 3 years.
