Sean Connery - stay healthy! you have to be in Indiana Jones 4!!! © INSIDE Insidefoto / PhotorazziThe Sunday Mail reports that Connery's brother in Scotland "also suffers from the condition and their father died from throat cancer at the age of 69."Connery allegedly went to a New York hospital for the appointment two weeks ago, and it caused him to miss a charity event he was scheduled to attend.According to the Mail, the 76 year old actor first discovered polyps in 1986 and had them removed after a bout of laryngitis. As a precaution, Connery must undergo annual check ups to monitor any changes.Connery's brother Neil told the Sunday Mail that the "tests were part of a yearly check-up and confirmed they clashed with the charity gig he had been due to host."He explained to the Sunday Mail: "Sean was in New York for his MOT, which I do every year in Edinburgh."I’m pleased to say he passed. He had polyps on his throat, as I did, and it is on-going. It is something which needs to be followed through. You have to have yearly checks and that is why Sean was at the hospital – just to make sure everything was alright."source
