I have a history of precancerous polyps since 2007. In 2018 I had the very same thing as you. After my colonoscopy my Dr. (Surgeon) of 10+ yrs said “you have a poylp in your appendix”I found out was in the
appendeceal orifice’ time
went on,several months.i called and asked (?),he said “oh!i can snip it right out (along w/appendix but first we need an Catscan it showed “ a “mass in colon concerning malignancy”Dr.didn’t tell me I had to order the report and it was ‘next day expressed!’6 mo went by another colonoscopy (report said”diverticulitis) no mention of poylp in appendix or “mass”so another Catscan shiwed “stool in colon!) still no mass or mention of polyp in appendix. I went to another surgeon 5 mo later he said “I’ll run a Catscan with contrast for your PEACE of mind”!that scan shiwed NO polyps!i had NO peace of mind as 2017 actually said “2”sessille serrated polyps! I was livid as tgese poylps are nit removable w/colonoscopy so..gexspoofed it off as ‘gone’!i objected vecause I understood polyps only biopsies for testing. Showing benign!they sent me to an oncology geriatric Dr. Who basically said”you just have too much info!(i’m 81 at that time!”mo’spast,im researching, so I went to a3rd Colon Surgeon who said “yes, the appendix and poylp must come OUT!surgery 2021 July
14! Today,I’m due for yearly ck-up,another colonoscopy!durin this time I research sessile serrated poylp s abd found,they turn to cancer quite frequently,though typically benign on first finding!(?)cancer can appear in 10-12yrs.!my reports showed other poylps,biopsid not removed 13yrs.prior!so I wait!
For new colonoscopy! I’ll report the findings. I’m now 84.i digressed, te surgery in 2022 found a small benign mass on appendix!) removed!a long tedious worrisome journey!im now suffering microscopic colitis in lining of colon(?)nausea,duarrhea,unstoppable!could thiseunremived and ‘leftover,biopsidedpoylos be ‘cancer?..my fear!thanks for this long comment!

Please excuse many typos in my long text (polyps in appendix)! I’m 84 and do not text well!
