Brief Answer:
Do not worry till you get report of the polyp biopsy.

Detailed Answer:
Considering your age of 35 years, there is only 1% chance that it may be cancerous, hence it is better be removed and histopatho done to know the exact diagnosis.
You will have to go for other tests as advised by your Gastroenterologist and follow his instructions to have hassle free life. Too many opinions may confuse you as a rare possibility.

Do not worry at the moment till you get all the reports.
