Well, they caught a polyp on my husband that they said was precancerous.

W hat’s the ncidence of getting prostate cancer at 50 without any family history of it, and my husband got it.

The colonoscopy is easy. The prepping was the worst part, but not bad.

Glad they caught it but incidence of perforation and other complications goes way up after age 60.

They almost always say the polyps are precancerous even if the likelihood of actual cancer is quite low.
