I had one removed, and now I need to go back for yearly screenings. I'm just wondering had I not gone, how many more years it would have taken to turn into colon cancer.

Perhaps it wouldn't have or will not turn into colon cancer. A yearly scanning is a good idea. If the doctors were concerned, you would be reviewed more often. Not all growths are cancerous. Don't worry!

We think the time frame from earliest genetic changes to frank cancer is something like 7-10 yrs in colorectal cancer.
