Read the link and decide for yourself whether you should get tested.
I've been diligent with colonoscopies since I passed the 50 mark. 16 years later cancer was found and I immediately scheduled surgery. It's an unknown when you go under the knife but luckily for me it was caught in the early stages and was stage 1. Surgery removed 8"'s of my colon and in 2 months I was good as new. No chemo or radiation needed because it was caught early. I'm would advise any and all to have this easy procedure done knowing that it could easily be a life saver.
