Government funded screening doesn’t start until 60?

That is so bad. Here, if you have a member of your family that has had CA or bad polyps, the recommendation is ten years of age prior.

So if your family member had CA at 40, you should get a scope at 30. I’m not sure what the minimum age is, but 60 is way too high.

I had my first at 50 (symptomless) and I was almost completely blocked and had some bad cells in there.

Right now I have a good friend at death’s door with this. He is not 50.

I had three removed before 50 and one the next year. Two years after that were none and don't have to go back for 3 more years.
Wouldn't have liked my chances under the UK model...
