Tubular adenomas with low grade dysplasia

I had a polys removed during a sigmiodscopy and came bk last week as tubular adenomas with low grade dysplasia. I had occasional bleeding , and on/off pain in my right side mainly. I have family members on both my parents side who had colon cancer and worried. See another lady doc this week and she is pushing consultant to see me and a ct scan and colonoscopy. 

Scared as told polys normally in right of colon and only looked at my left. 

Anyone been through this I'm only 36 with 5 kids 

Just thinking what is my chances etc 

  • Hello Oak3389,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat.

    Only your consultant will be able to tell about the possibilty of colon cancer, so make sure you go through all your concerns, including a scan to the right your colon,  in your upcoming appointment. I hope it goes ok.

    Best wishes,

  • Thank you. Just wonder if anyone else has just been told or found out about similar and the process they going or went through. Ie scan consultants ct scan etc? 

  • I had a similar result too I'm 28 and had a polyp removed during a sidmoidoscopy and it was precancerous and same as you low grade. 

    I'm waiting now for a full colonoscopy, how have you got on? Have you had any answers yet? 

    I also think it's more common for polyps to be in the lower part of your bowel so as they enter I think the right side is.more rare.

    Did you go for sedation for the procedure you had ? 

     

  • I have the same as both of yous.I have had numerous polyps removed and one witch was 3cm and grew back and had to be removed again.I was put on a 3 month watch list by the hospital to come back and have another check up,but due to a computer error,i have been left for over a year.I have all the same problems again and i just feel so angry that the hospital can be so careless.I am now waiting on an emergency colonoscopy.God knows what this will show up after all this time.

  • That sounds awful, I do hope you get seen to quickly.

    After my last scan I have had numerous tests which found no more polyps but I will be checked every 5 years now so I imagije when you get this test done you will be put on regular checks.

    Keep us updated with your results, I know how horrendous this waiting is but at least you are on top of it and keep chasing it up.

    Mine symptoms have been put down to ibs now and I recently cut meat from my diet and ever since I have had no more pain.

    I stillmworry about polyps coming back but if they are low grade like this post they tend to be less aggressive and at least.now days we can get them removed.
