Yes, people, if you have a history of colon cancer please talk to a gastroenterologist ( my dad was diagnosed with colon cancer in early Feb and I had to get it asap since it's hereditary) Colon cancer is the most common type of cancer and recent guidelines have changed the age of getting a colonoscopy from 50 to 45.
