My Uncle had his colonoscopy today and they found 1 polyp, which the doctor said looked benign but they are sending it for biopsy. He had an Endoscopy the beginning of June that only showed 2 small ulcers. A follow up CT showed a cm tumor/cyst in his pelvic region, but wasn't found during upper/lower GI. This man is literally in pain all day/ everyday (Norco no longer helps)  ; he has lost 40 lbs in 4 months because it hurts to eat & the only blood work that is "elevated" is his CEA, which is 200. ANY help/thoughts/ideas at this point are welcome and much appreciated.

    The biopsy will confirm if

    The biopsy will confirm if the polyp was benign or not, the CEA levels sound really high.  It's hard to wait for answers, but best to get them from the medical professionals.   

    Praying for good results and outcome for your uncle!
