Scheduling a colonoscopy ASAP. Friend from my mission (age 41) just diagnosed

I am sorry to hear about your friend. Due to family history, I had my first

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

44 year old in our ward just was diagnosed. Absolutely devastating for the fam.

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 dad passed away from this at age 42. I’ve been getting screens since age 30

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