Colonography

It was suggested that I have a colonography about five years after my colonoscopy which was all clear. That time has arrived now and as I have health anxiety, I’m wondering if it’s really necessary. I’ve read that polyps can take up to ten years to grow? The initial surgery was in November 2013, an acute extended right hemicolectomy. All CEA tests and an earlier colonoscopy have been ok. I’m 76. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
