My father had colon cancer, he survived but it changed his life. So when I got to be 48 my doctor, (my dad's as well) said he wanted me to get a colonoscopy. Well I fought and fought over it. My doctor is the same age as me, so when I was nearing 50 he said he would line up the appt. for me and he would get one too, telling me a new drug they use makes it very hard to keep saying no. Well I agreed, how could I not? We both went in (seperately) and I had the prettiest doctor doing the proceedure. They found a polyp that was removed. It was tested and was benign. But allowed to grow, it may have become cancerous. So now I go when they tell me, my third one will be in August. We owe it to all who love us to fight this terrible disease called cancer, by getting this painless exam! Please go fellas and good luck to all!
