How come we are not hearing from them on this thread? Perhaps they fear being ridiculed? Gee, I wonder where they would get that idea?

Why 1/3 of the senior population are not posting on this website, and have also not had colon screening is an unknown quantity. Maybe they don't have a computer, or insurance, or are homeless, or any number of other things.
They may or may not have made a wise decision.
Good luck with making your decision.
