: : My mom, who is 51 yrs old, recently had an endoscopy and the doctor found numerous stomach polyps (about 50). They did a biopsy on three of them and luckily the results came back negative. However, there are still many polyps which could be cancerous and she is not getting much input from the doctors. They want her to get a colonoscopy to make sure she doesn't have any in her colon. Has anyone ever experienced this or does anyone have any info? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
: Hi Tammy... About 2 weeks ago,I also had a endoscopy and had a polyp removed from my stomach and it was not cancer. My doctor told me that it was highly unlikely that polyps were cancerous, who knows. I also have to have a colonoscopy done, just to be on the safe side. I am 56 y/o. My gastro. Dr. said that my polyp was mostly muscle cells not cancer cells. So don't worry Tammy. Tell your mom to have a colonoscopy...Ruth
Ruth -
Thanks for you message. Did you have any symptoms from your stomach polyp?
