[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please get your colonoscopies! 45 with no family history, younger if you you have a history.[/quote]

James got his. Feels like you are blaming him.[/quote]

I don’t believe he got them as he should have:

- he was unaware that the screening age had dropped from 50 to 45

- he had changes in his bowel habits and attributed it to caffeine intake rather than speaking to a physician[/quote]

What?

Who cares if he knew the screening age if he still got one at what turned out to be the recommended screening age?

People have changes in bowel habits for myriad reasons. I hope you don’t suggest that one go running to the doctor or for a colonoscopy as the first step every time? In addition to being impractical on a personal level, it’s impractical on a system level.[/quote]
He was diagnosed at 46. He did not get screened at 45 and had publicly said he didn’t know screening was recommended at 45. I am suggesting people get tested when recommended and discuss changes in your status with your physician. [/quote]

This is the medical equivalent of being pedantic. [/quote]

For real.  There is often a multiple month wait to get a routine screening colonoscopy.  Not to mention it was only recently changed from 50.  I know my own spouse had a delay when he turned 45 bc our insurance hadn’t caught up with the new recommendations [/quote]
