“My father was diagnosed with colon cancer at the age of 45. He had to have surgery and no other treatments. My brother and I had to have colonoscopies at 45 as well. However, I kept putting mine off - I finally had mine at age 57. I hated the prep process, that's why it took me years to have it done. They only found one polyp and removed it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I have to have another one done in five years and I will make sure to get it done.”
