Well they told you that you had a large polyp which you did. They didn’t tell you that you had cancer because the pathology takes up to 2 weeks

I always watch the colonoscopy and ask questions all way through. I had 10 polyps removed 18 months ago and now another 19. I watch what they do. Good luck

Just me 58! Solo traveller 🥰 :
I had a " nasty polyp " on my colonoscopy which even I could see wasn't right, they took biopsies and said they were going to send me straight for MRI and CT scans, I asked the nurse before I left did she think it was cancerous and she said yes. Turned out to be a 7cm tumour in my rectum, stage 2, just going into the wall, but hadn't spread. I was told I'd probably need full removal of rectum etc and permanent stoma, but first radiotherapy to try to shrink it. So, 5 weeks of radiotherapy, followed by 4 rounds of chemotherapy ( they can't operate straight after radiotherapy so decided to chuck some chemo at me whilst I was waiting).. However, scans revealed that the radiotherapy had done an amazing job and not only shrunk my tumour but completely zapped it ! I'm now " disease free" and having MRI scans and camera test/ biopsies every 3 months to check everything is still good 👍 so no operation, ❤️I'm returning to work soon, but it's been a very eventful year !

That’s actually a lovely story. My husband got told on the spot he had bowel cancer aged 44. His was very advanced and causing an almost complete bowel obstruction, so the surgeon had to warn him in case he did suffer a blockage. I wish we’d had another few days of ignorance - the prognosis was horrible. He had stage 3/4 cancer and it was chemo resistant. He’s fine now, and we can laugh about it (no, we can’t 😂)

During mine I already knew that I the tumour, they removed it but didn’t say anything about cancer HOWEVER I remember laying there and they were chatting about the biopsy and the consultant starts shouting “blue bag blue bag”.. not realising I work in the cancer field too.. I knew exactly what blue bag meant 😅

Low iron 2024 did Fit test positive had endoscooy and colonoscopy August 24 removed polyp from bowel histology results said would of turned cancerous if left put on 3 yearly colonoscopies September 24 vomiting what looked like coffee granules still felt tired blood test showed low iron got told it’s one of those things period related take iron tablets , all 25 had low iron still the doctor said double up on iron tablets had a few more episodes of vomiting coffee granules doctor prescribed tablets said irritation in stomach, January 26 went to A&e woke up in excruciating pain A&e ran bloods said come back remarkable doctor felt stomach said gastritis sent me home with omeprazole I was still in pain went to doctors she told me the same gave me follow up appointment for 2 weeks later still had pains not as bad as were doctor gave me a fit test requested CT scan Fit test positive so another colonoscopy and endoscopy endoscopy fine colonoscopy showed a mass got told saw things that were in keeping with Crohn’s disease wait for histology results from biopsies if get pain again go straight to A&e and they requested a CT scan said take whatever one comes first doctors or hospital had CT scan turns out it was cancer needed another CT scan on chest check for spread that was clear luckily, met with consultant she told me she would be doing a right hemicolectomy to remove tumour that wa done April this year turns out stage 3 cancer 6 out of 32 lymph nodes with cells in and blood vessel so I’m cycle 4 of 8 if chemotherapy which is rough and a doctor that doesn’t think she is accountable for fobbing me off her reasoning is you had a colonoscopy in August 24 had symptoms after what more can you do

My surgeon was very tactful after my colonoscopy, but the nurse said you are quite likely to be able to make it to your daughter‘s wedding. That was the first time I realized I had cancer, and I might be at the end of my life

I was anaemic a few years ago and was losing blood, had to have a colonoscopy, they found a polyp which was removed. Feel very fortunate that it was caught before it became anything sinister. So important to always do that test when it’s offered or to seek help when anything changes in your bowel habits.

After chemo they told me the tumour had reduced significantly…… for the tumour removal they had to make another cut to get it out…. It was the size of my fist. God knows the size before. Xx

Dr. Chre :
I just had my first colonoscopy this past Friday and I was totally surprised that they found nothing! Not a single polyp. I’m 46 and really expected something. I guess it’s the little wins.

Its complicated. She just decided to take the positive approach. As it needs proof.... as it could also be a crazy encapsuled infection.

My name is not Peggy :
There was no missing mine. The monitor was right in front of me and having had a clear colonoscopy 3 yrs earlier I could tell they’d found something as they stopped quite quickly and I could see them taking samples of this mass of tissue. Consultant came in for a chat after and said it was most likely cancer. Mine was in my sigmoid colon too and it was quite big, so big they couldn’t go past it with the camera 🙈

IThinkImACloneNow :
I've heard a mix but the guy doing mine was a colorectal surgeon and he told me right away. I was sedated but only felt a little dopey. He told me what was likely going to happen next but he was quite surprised to find it given age (43) and lack of symptoms (until there was)
