large polyp

I just had a colonoscopy/endoscopy done 3/3 and they found 2 polyps. One was 12 mm. I am very scared of finding out the pathology. I’m 37 with 3 kids and colon cancer runs on my mom’s side. I’m scared.

It's good you had a colonoscopy. Even if they found precancer in the polyp, you should be glad it was removed. Basically, there's nothing to worry about now that yours has been examined and the polyps removed. If the pathology found signs of cancer they will monitor you regularly and this will prevent the risk of cancer in that area.
