Five small polyps, or growths removed from President Bush's colon were benign, or non-cancerous, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow told reporters Monday.
"The president is in good health, there's no reason for alarm," said Snow, who himself beat colon cancer but was diagnosed in March with a reoccurrence of cancer that has attached to his liver.
Snow said the President will have a follow-up colonoscopy in three years, rather than waiting the usual five years, because polyps were discovered.
Bush, 61, had polyps removed during previous tests in 1998 and 1999. However a 2002 colonoscopy revealed no polyps.
The President underwent a colonoscopy at the Camp David presidential retreat on Saturday and was given anesthesia. The voluntarily transferred power to Vice President Dick Cheney for over two hours.

According to Rush, the polyps were Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Dick Durban, Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer. Hardly a benign group.
