she has stage III colon cancer. She had a successful surgery to remove it all but had she waited much past her 45th birthday it could have spread to liver, stomach, kidneys or heart. Thankfully they reduced the age this year to 45 for your first colonoscopy. She had no symptoms and she is disciplined at getting all her wellness checkups. Nothing ever showed up until the colonoscopy. Probably saved her life. And she is everything to me so probably saved my life too
