For general: Population, once a decade is adequate. I do not know the features of your sigmoid cancer, but the fact that you had chemo suggests either nodes or a deeply penetrating lesion. I'd listen and follow the advice of your surgeon, and ask if he/she focuses on proctology and if there is one in your community. Total colon scopes are usually done by medical GI folks.
