Colon cancer

Last reply: 10 February 2021 20:50

Hi All, I had a colonoscopy 1 week ago and they found an ulcer/lesion on my Caecum ascending colon. Did anyone else have this? I am waiting on biopsy results. Most bowel cancer is a polyp and I cant find much info on an ulcer. Any information would be great thanks.

Hi sorry to hear about your sister. Hope she’s ok. Until you get the biopsy results back you won’t know exactly what you are dealing with unfortunately. Hold tight and hopefully it’s nothing too serious. Did they take bloods as well ? They need to check your CEA and CA-19 levels in your blood too. Best of luck.
