I hope this will help you to relax - I had 4 polyps removed also
They were benign. Often times just looking at them the dr. 's have
a good idea of what they are dealing with, it is a great sign that your
dr. thought it was nothing. But to be sure they must be tested.
You will hear good news I am sure....

I am glad that you had the test...especially since you did have polyps,
which are nothing when removed early. For any other sisters out there
who are due to go for this check up...please do not wait...the prep
is really the most challenging part of the test. Colon polyps are a concern
because they can transform in time to colon cancer.

Like Nikie says, "JUST DO IT"
remember early detection is the key.
