Mass found during first colonoscopy
I am 34f I just had my first endoscopy and colonoscopy where they found a 2.5cm fungating and ulcerated malignant mass about 10cm from my anus. A bit of background - I did a 23&me test with the health option 5-6 years ago and it flagged some abnormal genes consistent with MUTYH-associated polyposis syndrome. I initially ignored it not realizing what it really meant. I finally told my PCP a few months ago and he referred me to a geneticist who was able to confirm the results through another round of testing. I was immediately referred to gastroenterology.
I had my first procedure yesterday (Friday 10/9) where they found the mass and 25 additional polyps. I've been referred to a colorectal surgeon, hemotology/oncology, and to get a CT with contrast to make sure it hasn't spread anywhere else.
My family has some trauma with cancer from my sister who passed from an unrelated cancer back in 2017 so this is bringing up a lot of emotions for everyone. I am trying to prepare for worst case scenario while also hoping for the best.
Any words of advice? Anybody else have experience with a mass like I described? I hate that I found out on a Friday and have to wait until next week to even start scheduling follow ups.
