Lots of us in our 40s
I'm a caregiver, but for what it's worth,
DOB 8/4/64
And, on another note I can't help but notice how many 1960s birthday are on this list, now mine too. I had called my PCP on Monday because I wanted to schedule a colonoscopy. There's been a fair amount of cancer in my family and my mother has a history of precancerous polyps (so far they've caught them all in time!). Even with that, they said I'm too young but the doctor is willing to meet with me to talk about it (appt in a couple weeks). John was diagnosed right after his 49th birthday with stage 3, and they told him if he had gotten scoped in his early 40s they probably could have cured it. Needless to say, I would really like to get scoped.
on a brighter note, it's been a long time since anyone has said "you're too young"
