I am a bit worried right now because I just had my colonoscopy and they found 2 tiny (7 and 8 mm sessile) polyps. One was near the appendix (in other words WAAAY in there and the other in the transverse colon (under the stomach/liver area). The doc is well experienced. Has probably seen thousands of these things. He says that he removed them and will biopsy them but said he'll see me again in 5 years unless something showed up which he clearly doesn't expect. The first time he found one 8 years ago, he told me what it was (type) and that he'd see me in 3 years and he was right with the second one also (hyperplasia which never becomes cancer) and he didn't seem at all worried this time though I was a bit drugged and therefore forgetful. So, have any of your had sessile polyps that were hyperplasia and nothing else? I know they are harder to get rid of and require more care and additional removal of tissue if they are precancerous (not hyperplasia) so I am wondering if anyone has had hyperplastic sessile polyps so I can breathe easier or if you have have had very small sessile polyps and if your docs weren't all that concerned.
