African Americans in general are in a high risk group for colon cancer.

Black nurse I work with has a husband who is a cop in a major city.

He does the hand to hand training for the department. Dude looks like an MMA fighter in his early to mid 40s.

He had a physical, and the doctor had him do a routine stool occult blood test. Came back positive.

Turned out he had early stage colon cancer.

He went through six cycles of FOLFOX and is in remission, back to work and doing good at this point.

Good for him ! It’s very important for people in high risk groups to take preventive action or at least actively monitor their health (doctor visits, tests..). Kayleigh Mcenany spoke at the RNC convention about being in a high risk category (84%) for breast cancer which she inherited from her mother and how she underwent a double mastectomy. Very wise thing to do. At least now she will have peace of mind.
