According to an article I read yesterday (might have been from CNN), the numbers of people under the age of 50 being diagnosed with colon cancer is increasing.
My dad has had several polyps removed from his colon when he was in his 60's and 70's. Because of this, I had my first colonoscopy at age 52 and my second colonoscopy last year. The doctor said I am good to go until 2024. I am kind of a wimp, and while a colonoscopy won't be the highlight of your year, consider the possible alternative if you don't get this screening test. The test prep (drinking the prep solution) is the worst part. The test itself is a piece of cake.
Just heard that "Black Panther" will be shown tonight (Sunday) on ABC, commercial free. I still haven't seen "Black Panther", so tonight is my chance.
