[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I hear you guys about the increasing rates of Colon cancer.

For now, my bowel habits are great - twice a day like clockwork. I eat lots of fiber, water, and exercise regularly. No family history of any digestive related cancers, including a lot of older cousins. [b]The next time I'm due,[/b] I'll get the colonoscopy. [/quote]

You're due now and the insurance company is sending you the at-home poop sample as a cost savings to them, not a life saving for you. [/quote]

I don't mean to be a pain OP. I'm the poster whose mom was diagnosed at 65. She's an 18 year survivor and it was caught at stage 2. She had surgery but didn't need chemo or radiation. She had been completely asymptomatic.

She did smoke for 20 years (age 20-40 or so) and had quit for at least 25 years. She did eat a lot of red meat. No genetic component. Don't know if those two lifestyle choices contributed but I'm putting it out there.

If you have insurance, I'd get it done. It can't hurt and can only help. [/quote]
