Remember being this cool?
Then it may be time to schedule your colonoscopy.
The American Cancer Society has updated its recommendation for
colon cancer screenings to start at age 45 for those at average risk.*

removed before they could turn into cancer.
Talk with your provider about scheduling a colonoscopy.
