The letter that I got from my doctor said Biopsies that I took of the area around the papilla where the bile drains do show features of tubular adenoma.However there are no cancer cells and no atypical cells seen.
Does this mean the polyps could turn into cancer?I cant talk to my doctor today cause hes gone already and I dont want to be worrying about it until I am able to talk to him.

CALL YOUR DOCTOR

Adenoma are actually fairly common (one in ten people have them) and in most cases they are benign. However, they do have the potential to become cancerous.
You should definitely consult with your doctor. But for the time being, I'd relax if I were you. If your doctor were terribly concerned, he would have left a message for you to come in for more tests.
Wikipedia has an excellent overview of adenoma. Check it out, then make an appointment to see your doctor.

Please don't worry. It is the worst to wait for answers like that. It is not painful to have Polyps removed which yes, they can become cancerous but, you don't have that. You will have complete amnesia (due to medication given during the proceedure) and I promose there is no pain afterwards either.
Did you have a colonoscopy? They just go ahead and remove them while they are in there. me and hubby just both got one and I had 4 removed. You will go into laalaa land. Someone else must drive.

Cancer is caused by poor nutrition (including oxygen) and stressors. Stressors can be environmental, like heavy metals, food additives or pollution, or emotional or job stress.
Our bodies have 60 trillion--yes, trillion--cells, and there are always some mutating into cancer cells, but a healthy immune system kills them before they have a chance to get a foothold in the body.
It takes a LONG time, usually, or an exrtaordinary amount of stressors, to degrade the immune system to the point where it won't do its job, but once cancer has formed, it can spread rapidly.
THIS IS IMPORTANT! There are ways to BEAT cancer that the AMA is keeping from the American public, that are being used in Europe and around the world. Here is some information that is getting hard to find--"The Cure for All Cancers", ISBN 0963632825; "A Cancer Therapy", ISBN 0882681052; "Hydrogen Peroxide--Medical Miracle", ISBN 1885236077; "The Natural Cure for Cancer--Germanium", ISBN 0533071410; and "Killing Cancer", ISBN 0705000966.
Type 'used books' into your browser and find a good site, then type in the ISBN numbers and get some great help cheap.
I know of people whose cancer has 'spontaneously remitted' (WENT AWAY for no known reason) after they went on a program of herbs and nutrition.
The American Medical Association and the pharmaceutical companies control medical law in this country, and they are in it for the money, and don't care about individuals. You and your family must look out for yourselves to stand a chance of being healthy.
This is not a joke. Look into it. Best of luck

What you've said is a little contradictory -- talk to your doctor.
