I think that your subject matter is incorrect. "Screening for Colon Cancer, when is it needed?".

It seems that you have already made up your mind.

Not sold on fecal blood test.

I think that a colonoscopy is a valid test that is saving many lives. When I had a routine one four years ago they found some cancerous polyps that were removed while I was "under". Had nothng after the procedure to make me feel they "did" anything, no bleeding, no pains, nothing. At my recent one, they found nothing. I must add that I had not one symptom from those polyps.

It must be an informed choice and I don't go to my doctors to tell them what to do. I try to choose doctors who I can trust to guide me to good health decisions. I will go back to Ohio for my next one because we have family there and the endoscopy lab has my records.
