Medical: two polyps being biopsied

My colonoscopy looks generally clear but it did have to odd growths worth biopsy and we cannot say it was fully clear until the results of two biopsies come back--we are expecting the results Monday.

Of particular concern was A 3 to 4 cm mass (a firm friable ulcerated wide-based polyploid mass) found during the colonoscopy phase, adjacent to my ileocecal valve. This is not normal, was too big to be snipped out entirely, and may prove to be cancerous.

There was also a small bit in the lower stomach which they took a sample of and whose biopsy should be available Monday.

If it turns out my lucky streak has ended in my quest to prove I was stage 1, will be at peace.
