You will be glad you did. If found early, colon cancer is treatable. Because people don’t like tests “down there” they have a tendency to put it off. And when a polyp turns cancerous, it can easily enter the blood stream and go anywhere, and by the time you show symptoms, it can be advanced. I had a polyp that was malignant, and they removed a small section of my colon and put me on a monitoring schedule. I had gone in because my weight went from 215 lbs to 175 for no real reason (I’m 6’2 almost 50). My doctor said 100 percent It would have turned into something major.

Best of luck
