I believe, and this is just my opinion, that certain people are more susceptible to polyp formation than others. Since you have already had a polyp removed, I would say the chances are pretty good that you have another or others. It's not a big deal, as they remove them as they are encountered during your colonoscopy.

Since your father was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, you now have a family history of that disease. This cancer is very "treatable" and often prognosis is good for people who have surgery and undergo chemo-therapy. I pray your father does well.

Please schedule your colonoscopy right away. Doctors will arrange payments, if the cost is prohibitive. Good luck.
