Colonoscopy
I had a colonoscopy yesterday after showing positive reading during the yearly stool checks for over 50yrs.
My report said I had some large lesions and 50+ polyps. More could be there as there was still some stool there and they could not confirm full until I carry out the colonoscopy again.
Do I have high chance of cancer?

Yes. There is a possibility. Please do a repeat colonoscopy after bowel preparation and a biopsy should be taken from multiple polyps. Based on the reports further course of action will be decided
