TBH PSA: Get your dang colonscopies done!
My Dad passed at 56 due to Colon Cancer, it was a 4 year battle. I wish he would have gone in sooner, it may have saved his life. I’m 44 and about to have my 4th. They’ve removed polyps every time.
It’s a silent killer.

I do em out of my garage for $50.00. Use a funnel and a flashlight.
But your comment to your FIL is still pretty dang funny.

I went the Cologuard route, came back clean. Next time, I'll pay for the Cologuard out of pocket and wait for the results before submitting to insurance. If it comes back bad, then I'll get the scope and let the insurance company pay for it.
On second thought, Cologuard is just a lab thing. I should check the price and do it every year. It's probably only $100.

My middle brother got diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer today and could be bumped to stage 4 after surgery Friday. This was a big reason for my post...we knew something like this was going to be diagnosed. Add this plus several other friends that have similar diagnosis and I wanted to get folks aware. He is 50 and waited to do it when his doctor recommended. I wish he'd have done the 45 thing.
