If you have a history of colon cancer or blood in your stool, get a colonoscopy.. this simple procedure saved my mom's life when she found she had stage 4 colon caner that spread to the liver. She is now cancer free!!!

I'm happy for your mom, for you and your family. These events in life make you look at life differently, don't they? Hopefully people will listen to your advice.

Yes, it is not a pleasant experience but alot can be discovered and treated. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, which hes now been treated. It can recur so I have to have many colonoscopies.
