Colon cancer question - metasis. Please help

Colon cancer question - metasis. Please help!!!!!?
I had stage IIIC colon cancer earlier on this year, and went through 6 months of chemo for it. Last week a precancerous 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.

Polyps are an easy treatment (well, compared to cancer treatment). A simple removal with a colonoscopy will take care of it. I hope your treatment was successful.

Should be the simple removal this time. Best wishes to you this holiday season and the Christmas seasons to come.

I can't answer on procedures, but it would be a good idea for you to start ingesting a lot of Turmeric and fiber. Turmeric is a curry spice that is widely used in India, where colon cancer is virtually unheard of. It is a fantastic colon cancer preventative and has been shown to help combat active colon cancer. The FDA cannot "patent" a plant, therefore they attack any company that says a plant works for anything because it would take money out of their pocket. Yet much of medicine is derived from plants. But they only take out the chemical they like and leave the rest, which often assist the one chemical in working more efficiently. Best of luck, Christine

I'm IIIC so I can relate to your fear. Ask your oncologist. None of of us are doctors here and can only speculate on if the polyp removal will be it for you. Sounds like it will be a removal only and usually they remove it during the colonoscopy.....
