Thanks for your enquiry.
It sounds like you are quite worried about this situation. It is difficult for me to comment as each person's cancer is a unique situation to them. It is a completely reasonable question to take to the doctor currently looking after you, particularly as they have access to your current scans/colonoscopy reports and blood tests if you are having them. Your doctor will be happy to reassure you and answer any questions you might have wether or not you have any physical symtoms that might be concerning you.
If you would like to talk with us directly about any questions you may have please feel free to contact the Bowel Cancer Australia Nurse Adviser team at http://www.bowelcanceraustralia.org/bca/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=305&Itemid=305
