Problems months after colon resection surgery: What Helps?

Thank you, I do still have questions but I’ve asked surgeon and he’s answered re: the procedure..?I still do not understand why such a huge gap in each surgeons opinion on the polyps, how many?? And the mass in colon concerning malignancy (Aug. 2020!) with no other cancer tests? The reports varied so much, it has left me still feeling very vulnerable. The surgeon doing the surgery does have my trust... and convinced me the polyp has to be removed. The ‘mass’ still seems to be a mystery.. if it’s really a mass or a mistake..by Radioligy.. or hidden in orifice. Will make all the difference in my recovery period, if it’s truly there. Thank you.

Well, me again (Bonnie) 6 days post surgery, seems to have been successful... an Internal Medicine Dr. Saw me post surgery in hospital, explaining the surgery saying “ you will know in approx a week what the ‘mass’ actually was! “ a small mass on top of appendix!” Well... I had been told snd based on the radiology report that the sessile serrated polyp” was what they had found in appendeceal orifice????? So the report came in on patient portal ‘NO cancer!!!!!’ Thats great but the wording disasters from 2018 and many colonoscopies and catscans since 2008-2009 on sessile serrated polyps and me as ‘high risk’ I’m still staggering from ‘mixed messages! ‘ my husband 91 has a Primary Dr. Visiting Dr. 34 yrs experience who mentioned to me... “ get a PetScan after your surgery??? So I’ll ask surgeon on my follow-up vusit in a week or so!!!! Why oh why cannot medical professionals get their descriptive reports consultant? The Surgeon called my precancer polyp an ‘unknown Neoplasm’ on the surgery summary!!!! ??????
