My dad passed away from this at age 42. I’ve been getting screens since age 30
….every 5 years.
Prep isn’t fun but procedure is easy. Worth the peace of mind given our health history

I heard it wasn’t recommended until age 50? I looked into it too.

That's true as long as there is no family history.

I didn't get mine till 50, but our family had history of colon cancer, so I should have done it sooner. Even though

My brother (many on here know him as TAI from the early days of CB and the other variants) just finished his last round

I remember Tai. Will be thinking about him and praying for his recovery.

Can’t you just do a at home test?

If you are willing to do it every year then yes. Colonoscopy is best.

A home test will not remove a polyp. They will do it in a colonoscopy. Polyps

My doc prescribed GoLyghtly for my prep. Stuff tastes so nasty. I am going to request the Gatorade/Miralax combo next
