Hi, im wondering if anyone can help with a matter that im having trouble making a decision about. I have been told i have 2 polyps in my gall bladder along with numerous small particles which they are unsure if they are gall stones or more polyps, which they found through ultrasound. 1 polyp is 0.5cm and the other is 0.7cm. I am a 39 year old female in reasonable health and average weight. I am having slight aching feeling on my right side but nothing i cannot cope with. A private consultant told me i can have the gall bladder removed to take away the risk of the polyps turning cancerous, however my concern is 1. Do i risk the surgery if it isnt necessary and 2. If i don't have it done am i risking cancer? Any help with this matter would be very much appreciated because it is consuming my world right now. Many thanks in advance.View Thread
