Hi Hrlpme,

Thanks for posting on the Colon Cancer Connected community. It is extremely difficult to make a determination based on a picture. The only way to determine this would be a visit with your doctor. You can get a physical exam and that may lead to some further testing. Doing this will put your mind at ease as you will be able to focus on something concrete instead of having to speculate and worry what might be going on.

Another thing to think about is if there are any hereditary medical issues within your family. That is good information for your doctor to know as well.

I do wish you the best in finding answers and I think a visit with your doctor will put you on the path to those answers.

I agree with GCCA, its best to see a doctor who can determine the way ahead. They see issues like this all of the time. Best wishes.
