Hello ladies,

Thanks for commenting here and adding your voices to this important issue! After watching what my mother went through, I’ve always said, “I’m gonna die of something, but it sure as heck isn’t going to be colon cancer.” I just wish people could get the test earlier than 50. Many more lives would be saved.

Thanks for this, Mary. My grandmother died of colon cancer too, and I had my first colonoscopy last year. I got photos, too! 🙂 (They weren’t as pretty as yours, so I didn’t post them on Facebook like I usually do with every photo of me!)

When I was 30, I lost a dear friend to colon cancer; she was 29. Her diagnosis came about 2 weeks after she was married, it was all so sad.

This is a test that must be attended to – and demands us to be aware of what we eat… which is really a struggle for me. Where’s that copy of Cravings???
