Annnnnd... this is why you get checked. I'm thankful that I got my first colonoscopy Monday and thankful the precancerous polyps were removed in time. I had no symptoms. If you're 45+, get checked. It is fast, it is easy, and it could save your life!
My aunt died of colon cancer. My sister got it in her 40s, but luckily it was found early as it triggered appendicitis. So my doc started checking me at 40 due to family history.
