40! This whole 50 thing has to change. I'm 44! I can't tell you the countless people I have talked to who have colon cancer and are in their early 40s. I think it was Chris who was a member on here who was only 34! My polyp was found at 28. We need to urge insurance carriers to allow people to be tested at 40, it'll save thousands of lives.
was in his 20's and died on his 30th birthday (or thereabouts).
I totally agree with you, Helen. It should be dropped to 40 at least.

Really the question is colonscopy or testing for the kids of survivors, 25-30.
