    My first colonoscopy, I had 3 polyps removed. They were biopsied, they were benign. But I have to repeat the colonoscopy in 3 years, rather than the normal 10 for my age.

    Call his office, and speak with someone there. Tell them you were still sedated and could not absorb everything he told you. They get these sorts of calls, you won't sound "dumb," and someone can go over it with you again.

    Thanks. I have to call anyway to make the appointment. I'll ask if they can clarify why I am making it!

    Worrying about it will do you far more harm than good. Relax, lots of people get the "polyps" diagnosis, far better than cancer diagnosis, and there are many kinds and stages of polyps there, so until you know more, don;t fee

    Call them and ask them to clarify just what is going on. I'm sure they will be able to set your mind at ease.
