“In my early 70’s, my doctor said several times that I should have a colonoscopy.”
“I felt fine so I didn’t think I needed one. I finally gave in and said to go ahead, and I scheduled one. In 2003 I had my first colonoscopy, and they found a tumor. I had an operation to remove the tumor because the biopsy showed it was cancer. They removed the tumor and a foot of my colon. I didn’t have to have any other treatment.”
“I’ve had several colonoscopies since then, and after 13 years, I’m still cancer free. This Thanksgiving I was able to enjoy being with my family of 30 because I had that first colonoscopy.”
