Thank you for responding ...
I forgot to mention that the orginal polyp that DID show on the CT Scan, (the one he went in to remove with the colonoscopy) was PRE-cancerous. The surgeon seemed to think that once it was gone (which he says he is confident it is) - the cancer risk is also gone - from that particular polyp, anyway. Although, he said there is a small chance the polyp would regrow. Don't know if that means it would re-grow in a pre-cancerous condition (since it was in that state when it was removed), or not.
Since that one was PRE-cancerous - its made me afraid of this submucosal one ...
So, the submucosal one - would be a sessile polyp then? How are they usually removed, do you know?
Thank you for taking the time to respond, I so appreciate it!
It does not mean that you have cancer. There are also polyps that sessile - do not have a stem or stalk (peduncle) - and may need to be watched or removed in another manner.
