Did your doctor actually say you had cancer? The transverse colon is the part of the intestine that is the upper most part. It goes across you inside. Hepatic flexure is the sharp bend between the ascending colon, which is the part of the intestine that is vertical on the right side of your intestine. You have 3 major parts of the intestines, 2 of which I told you and the part on the left which is called the descending colon. So this bend goes between the ascending and transverse colon. It is near the liver it is therefore also known as the hepatic flexure. Polypid only means you had polyps and a doctor will remove them as soon as they see them because gone untreated or ignored, they can become cancerous. I've had many removed from my stomach and intestines. I also had many, many endoscopes and the lovely colonoscopy. (yea!). Surface ulcerations, which I also have is only ulcers on your colon. It's called diverticulitis. It can be painful but with the right diet, you should be able to control that pain and you should also be on medication for it. If you are given us a report you got from the doctor, I really see no indication of cancer and that is a good thing. Now, I'm not saying you can't have cancer. because there are known cases but really, if you had cancer, your Dr would have you in a hospital now and doing more test and possibly beginning some sort of treatment. I think you're scared because you don't understand this report and you believe it's cancer. Your Dr did you an injustice by not explaining what this meant. You should not have left that hospital after your endoscopy & colonoscopy without him/her telling you exactly what the problem is. So don't worry until you get the facts from your doctor but it sure doesn't sound like cancer. There would have been a word in that report that said something like "malignant,or carcinoma or even the possiblitity of carcinoma or colon cancer," So please, don't worry about hospitals. Call your Dr and ask him to explain this report in detail and if you indeed have cancer. OK. I wish you the best. Feel better.
