Guys, just a reminder to get your colonoscopies if you have ANY family history or if you’re 50+ years old. My sister was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer close to 3 months ago. What she has been through since is just awful. She’s almost 53 yrs old and has lived a very healthy lifestyle for years. If she had gotten checked earlier she would probably be in a much better situation. I’m 49 and got mine done last week. Luckily it was clear, but I was worried because I had been having some digestive issues recently.

Anyway, early detection is paramount, so get it done!!!
