I just finished watching the colonsocopy segment (had it recorded) and I think the point was clear enough on the importance of having the procedure done.

I had my first one done at the age of 60 instead of the recommended 50, but should have had it done earlier since what they found took about 5 years to grow to the size it was.

The only think I would have liked to have seen added was a disclosure by the two women at the end of the segment as to what their health and lifestyle were like prior to having their cancers found out. That just might have had a teeny-weeny chance of getting through to those that think they're not at risk or still fear the procedure!

I would have also liked them to show a video of the probe like was done when Dr. Oz televised his... "Journey to the Center of His Girth!"
