Mom has uterine polyp, worried about cancer! - Cancer: Uterine Message Board

My mom (who's 64) had an ultrasound today, and they found a uterine polyp. It's about 1-1/2 cm, or the size of a large marble. (She has also had fibroids for a few years.) There's a small chance it could be cancerous, so she's having an out-patient surgery next Wednesday to have it removed. Then it'll be several days before we get the results of the biopsy on it. The doctor said the majority of these polyps are benign, but of course I'm worried! Can anyone shed some light on the likelihood of this being cancer?

Very unlikely to be cancer, as the doctor said. I had one removed a couple of years ago--no problems. I think it's back again, as they tend to do.

Don't worry until (or if) you have something to worry about!!!!
