Precancerous polyp then eventually getting cancer

Hi - was this your primary doctor who gave you this advice? If this was not from an oncologist then I suggest you seek one, preferably a practice that is dealt with both breast and colon cancer. Having a precancerous polyp is not of great concern, and the general guidelines for your age are probably every 5 years. That's why they do colonoscopies. It's great that you started yours at 45 years. It is highly unlikely that the breast cancer is related at all with the polyp. And your breast cancer would not have spread to the colon if that is your concern. At any rate I think it would be good for you to see a different oncologist just to assuage your concerns so that you can feel better about moving forward

I got my first colonoscopy at 53 thought I would have to get another one for another 10 years but the doctor told me I will see you next year I had 7 polyps one precancerous then went back the following year the found another 6 and had to do another in two weeks dr found some residual from the previous did that and he found another 7 had to go back 6 months for another and found and taken out 3 with all of them were precancerous the doctor said he’ll see me tear I guess really don’t know how to take this

@stanberryd251 My father for many years now has has an annual colonoscopy and precancerous polyps removed. It’s part of his normal life 🤷‍♀️
