25 year old male with 2 sessile serrated polyps
So I had a colonscopy done 2 weeks ago to remove a Sessile Serrated Polyp (10mm). Doc also found another 12mm Sessile Sertated one which was missed in my first colonscopy back in July (these polyps are supposedly very hard to identify)
As for why my polyps weren't removed in the first one in July, it's because that was carried out by a nurse endoscopist and he wanted a second opinion of a specialist GI on whether I actually had polyps (as sessile serrated lesions are very hard to identify he wasn't sure so he took pics).
Doc confirmed it was a SSL and that it looked very benign and not serious but wanted to remove anyway. So the second colonscopy was done 2 weeks ago in which they removed the two sessile serrated polyps. Doc said they looked fine and not serious and that these polyps can become potentially serious years down the road. Seemed completely unconcerned and very sure of himself
Anyway frustratingly I haven't got my pathology back for those polyps yet even though the colonscopy was on the 21st December. I take comfort in that if it was really bad I guess they would have told me asap.
But I was able to get the pathology for the first colonscopy I did in July in which they took a bunch of samples:

So my two sessile serrated polyps were in the ascending colon. And the two tissue samples of mucosa they took from the ascending colon came back as "normal mucosa". Does this pretty much rule out colon cancer? From what I've read, if its stage 0 cancer the mucosa would show up as abnormal. But the mucosa of where my polyps were was normal.
Would be a relief but not pleased about having precancerous polyps.
