Hi All!
Just after a little bit of a hand hold and a few "don't worry's"! I'm getting myself in a right pickle!!
On Monday, I had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Aside from the throat spray, they were Ok. I had sedation so don't remember much!
I've had a few colonoscopies, though not since 2016, as I have Crohn's disease.
Good news, the CD is inactive (Woop!), however, they did find (on the way out!) a 10mm sessile polyp. Obviously I need to wait for the pathology report to come in, and I know it is likely to be nothing, but..
This is a large polyp, and in May of this year, my Nan (mum's mum) was rushed in for emergency surgery for a Grade 4 bowel cancer. She has a history of polyps. I told the IBD team this at the time. This scope wasn't because of that, just because I kept feeling sick, so they thought they'd check.
Now all I'm thinking is it will be a 'bad' one. There were no other suspicious sites, and lots of biopsies were taken from the rest of my large intestine..
Please calm me down and tell me to stop being such a worry wart!!!
They said up to 20 days for results.. I guess the longer, the better?
