Please ALWAYS look before you flush! If you see blood, DO NOT assume that you have hemorrhoids, especially if you have any changes in your bowel movements. I’m am a colorectal cancer survivor, that has Lynch Syndrome-going on 11 years now. I have had, and will continue to have colonoscopies annually, for the rest of my life. Colon/colorectal cancers are one of the most treatable cancers, if you catch it in time. Please listen to your body, and don’t be embarrassed to talk about your bowel movements, AND definitely DO NOT be afraid of colonoscopies!

I can attest It wasn’t colon cancer for me but quick and severe Ulcerative Colitis. It’s a long story but in a nutshell I got bad stomach pains and bleeding for around a week before I got treatment. I’m fine now, but looking back I should’ve gotten help immediately. I too assumed it was a bug and I had hemorrhoids And yes, I was at first fearful of colonoscopies but after having a few I can say they’re not even that bad. The prep is the worst though LOL

The recommended testing age had been lowered BUT to get insurance companies on board is the issue. To get young people to believe it is another. The tests are not cheap and the Cologuard is NOT reliable. Many false readings. I have had two colonoscopies, the last one was after a false positive from a Cologuard test. Both colonoscopies were totally clean, NO polyps either time. People joke about the prep and think it's difficult. Trust me, it is NOT. They have better prep methods now, my second one was a piece of cake. My husband was an idiot and died of colon cancer, TOTALLY not necessary, and trust me everyone, it was ugly, very ugly. You do NOT want that. Please please, please get your screening.

The sad thing is colon cancer is rising because of our food, people are not eating, sustainable food, and everything is processed. Processed processed. Our bodies are not used to dealing with that. Therefore, it’s causing horrible illnesses not just colon cancer.

I can only comment on what I see with the people in my life and it is not good. One small example from last week. I work retail for a company that sells grills. To demo a grill other workers were super excited once again the samples would be burnt ends...of hot dogs!!!! Double dose of carcinogens please. Any processed meat that stays pink contains nitrites a class 1 carcinogen. Burning or cooking meat well makes it more of a carcinogen. I say nothing upon hearing this or face the wrath and ridicule of my co-workers. There are 3 people in my co-worker group of around 50 with cancer (full disclosure one is a spouse). For the 2 years I’ve known her one receiving chemo has eaten meat sticks on every break I have ever seen. Again, I will not say anything, the single time I did, if looks could kill I’d be dead. Seriously though you’d have thought I was the dumbest person in the room the comments and put downs. Stay informed and take care.

just had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy, all clear. I freaked myself out so bad the day before and morning of, I was throwing up (not from prep, from nerves), dizzy, chest pain (again anxiety), got to the hospital..........they took me back right away given I was a complete mess (my doc is great!) and guess what.......no big deal!!! The staff was great at making me comfortable both physically n mentally and actually talked n joked with me as I was going under sedation. Get screened!! U r knocked out n dont feel or know anything.
