    I have had polyps removed today and I'm worried.

    Bowel Cancer
    I'm a 46-year-old male who had a normal colonoscopy 4 years ago. Today I had a second one and the ward nurse told me he removed some polyps and that was it. I never spoke to the Dr and I am really worried what this means. I suffer from severe health anxiety and now have to wait anxiously for 2 weeks for the report. I was hoping someone here could provide some information please.
