I want to travel but a polyp is holding me back forever?

Question

I had plans to go across seas for a vacation but I had a polyp removed a few years ago, I have a followup appointment - this week which is three years later. My polyp was removed with no problems and it was a bening. I am extremely scared of going back to doctor and now I might put my wish to travel to rest cause of it. Please help me calm myself.
Please help I am only 21 years

I feel fine all the symptoms I had are gone post operating three years ago

Answer 1

if it was benign you are worrying yourself probably for nothing. Do you understand the meaning of benign? Means nothing is going on. Your body grows fingernails and hair, if you don't like it or it is annoying you remove it, it is benign.

I would just go and assume you are fine. Besides if you go somewhere else you can get cured there just as well.

Don't live your life being afraid of what might not happen that hasn't happened yet. The future is unknown, and can't hurt you yet. The past is already behind you and can't hurt you again.

DECIDE TO LIVE NOW.

Answer 2

Congratulation on the bio spy result for your polyp. while there is always a chance that you might get a different outcome from your next colonoscopy( the name of the test your doctor did),not going back would change nothing.Infact, the sooner you do a repeat test the better the odds are for you.If you believe in God( and I hope you do), pray , keep your appointment ,then go on your vacation. Goodluck and I'm rooting for you.

Answer 3

it sounds like everything is fine, why 3 years for a follow up. It wasn't cancerous? How do you feel other wise? If you have been fine don't stop enjoying life because your imagination has blown things out of proportion. If your Dr, says your fine. Then go with that.
