I had stage IIIC colon cancer earlier on this year, and went through 6 months of chemo for it. Last week a pre-cancerous polyp was found in the colon. What would the treatment be? Just the removal, or chemo as well? I'm really scared as to what happens now.

well i would say removal of polyp and more chemo, or radiation, but the link is great you can ask drs and find fellow persons with your condition , my dads was precancer and its every 6 mos colonoscopy

i assume they burned it off ,probably all the treatment you need,i guess if precancerous it was biopsied. so just regular follow up to scan for future cancers. the polyp was unrelated to your cancer. but a polyp was probably responsible for the original cancer.
