You just had a baby also, so could be hems, or something else. I had my 1 yr after surgery colonoscopy and just a small 3mm polyp. Can they grow faster, yes, but very rare. As mentioned, if margins were clear, that's good and shouldn't be of concern.
As far as the CT, what the doc said is odd. Usually they can tell the difference, also, a backup PET could help them to know. Yes, people have benign spots, but again what I just said. They would not just assume cancer. Yes, some spots are too small to know. Also, many people w/o cancer have benign spots from unknown or environmental issues.
