Hey guys
I didn't know which forum to post this in as its stoma related but its also a polyp on the Bowel lol.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows much about polyps? See I have had this polyp on my stoma for about 2 - 2.5 years. I didn't really do anything about it until recently because my stoma nurse never really said anything and for some reason it never worried me. Anyway about two months ago all of a sudden it doubled in size and went violently purple/black. It freaked me out so I went to surgeon and he was supposed to cut it off next week (it has been delayed because his father passed away
) he didn't seem overly worried about it but he is putting me to sleep to have it done. anyway tonight whilst changing my bag I got really freaked out as since yesterday it has increased about another half size and is the size of a tip of a pinkie! I have part of my colon left still - am overweight and also colon cancer runs in my genes (not immediate family but a few people on my dads side have had it)
Anyway as you can probably see I am kind of freaking out now - as I don't know why it would grow so fast unless it was cancer :S could it just be an angry polyp? I don't know! I have to wait another 2 weeks now for anything..
Thanks guys
