re: colon

[degum]

I just had a colonoscopy done and in the discharge letter, it says that benign looking multiple lesion were found and biopsied.
Can you explain what it means, as no one did explain to me.
Thanks

I'm not a doctor, just a cancer survivor.  You should ask your doctor these questions.  Good luck.

my question is if the double contrast barium enema shows positive, what should they suggest to do?

Do you think that I must have my whole colon removed or is there a kind of treatment that may help?

[jdwithhcv]

What is your question?

Can you help me with my question of 18.11.09 where I asked you

Thanks for your reply. Actually now they suggested that I have a double contrast barium enema done. Moreover two years ago I did a major operation (sigmoid colectomy for diverticular disease), but after the operation I became even more constipated.
Thanks.

It means that the doctor visualized leisions that do not appear to be malignant, however he/she took tissue samples from those leisions for examination in the pathology lab.  Sounds to m like your doctor is taking every precaution to be sure he/she gets complete information about the condition of your colon.  They should get back to you soon with the results of the lab exam.

Best of luck.  Please post again when you get the results from the lab.
