[quote=Anonymous]50 something DH, first colonoscopy.  (Did poop box prior with normal findings).

Five polyps, four were standard small ones, removed. One polyp doc called a mass. 30mm wide, on a stem. He was concerned about it and said it would be problematic to remove at the surgery center bc of size and bleed risk. He took biopsies of the large one. He also said that he wants biopsies of the smaller ones too. The large one, looks like it has a cloud type top like a cumulus cloud with many "bubbles" in terms of shape, and you can see capillaries and even a yellowish color and slightly rough appearance and a couple dark speckles.  Color seems uneven.. Hard to describe it but we have pics.  He said he's not too worried at this point and that we need to wait for final word on pathology. But that maybe we came in nick of time.  He said we have to go to hospital to get it removed by a surgeon bc it will start to cause obstruction issues soon even assuming it were benign. He said don't worry much and that he'd let us know in a couple weeks. And then we can proceed to next steps.  I lookedbat pics of benign tumors vs malignant ones and it didn't look too good. But what do I know.

Thoughts of those who have had similar experiences?  I personally think he thinks it's malignant and didn't want to remove it. Doesn't cancer have robust blood supply? He expressed concern about bleeding and how it would be risky to remove it.  [/quote]
