Polyps are not uncommon.
Polyps are not uncommon. If they are black or discolored is when they are a warning sign.
At the same time this may be a health scare to lead to a more healthy lifestyle. Less Burgers and more bio mass. Less chemicals and more real food. More exercise and less TV. etc....
This may be the time to reboot and evaluate. Make your self a lower statistic for later health issues. I waited until I found out I had cancer to change my diet. I got a lot stronger and that helped me deal with the pain and difficulties of cancer.

Thanks for the response. I do need to change my diet ! I have always had a good metabolism and have always been in very good shape. I never watched what I ate. It has always been red meat, protein shakes, bar food, Chinese food and whatever I could get in my stomach fast. When my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 in June I started eating a vegetarian diet but as soon as I went on vacation that went out the window. I will need to start that up again.0 -

Sounds like a good scope. I'm sure he will tell you when he wants you back for a new scan. Every doctor is different so it's hard to say when. I'm a believer that at age 50 that is a little late for a first scan. Would like to see it more about 40.

Two small polyps should not be a big deal. Absolute worst case is that they are cancerous, but that would put you likely at Stage 1 or at worst 2. The cure rate is like 95% for Stage 1 and 2 CRC. Best of luck on your diagnosis, and check back in after you get the results. There is a TON of great people and info on this site...
