Hello everyone,
I'm new. And terrified.
Had an OGD and colonoscopy all at once under General anaesthetic. I feel pretty battered and bruised after it, back and abdominal pain.
But that's nothing compared to how sick I feel knowing that they found A 3cm polyp in my colon. (Rest of bowel clear apart from slight diverticulitis). I am 47 and pretty fit and healthy.
I had few symptoms, just some random flareups of random bowel movements - a couple of times a year only. I asked for a colonoscopy as a bit of an after thought as I knew I was getting a general anaesthetic and thought they might as well.
I had a CT scan about 5-6 years ago which showed only slight diverticulitis. Now suddenly a 3cm polyp.
Of course I've googled this and realised that the odds of it being benign aren't good.
I am nearly sick with fear. I have 2 young kids.
My blood work is fine.
