    I was diagnosed with colon cancer (stage 1) at 46. Had a colon resection with no chemo or radiation, thankfully. I have been on an annual colonoscopy schedule and cancer free since. If the cancer grew another centimeter it would have been rectal cancer and I would be shitting in a bag for the rest of my life.

    What you guys should know....

    - Start getting checked in your 40s. The current recommended age of 50 is too late.
    - 99% of all colon cancer cases are preventable with a colonoscopy and prompt removal of polyps that can be done during your colonoscopy.
    - When you are diagnosed with cancer, the Drs can not tell you if it has metastasized nor can they tell you what stage cancer you have until all the scans and testing is completed. The Drs can only tell you that you have cancer.... not knowing will be the worst week of your life.
