It’s not fun being told that you should have a colonoscopy… especially when you can’t even remember a time without computers, MTV, cellular phones. Of course, colonoscopy guidelines suggest that a 31-year-old whose mom and maternal grandfather both died of colon cancer should consider getting a colonoscopy.
The fact that I have secondary relatives who were as young as 38 when undergoing excision of sessile colon polyps made the idea of undergoing a colonoscopy in my early 30s sound all the more prudent. It makes even more sense when recent studies show that colon cancer is on the rise in people under age 50.
In fact, according to a WebMD Health News article, colon cancer cases among young people are rising 3 percent every year; for rectal cancer, incidence rates are surging 4 percent annually for young individuals. No wonder colonoscopy guidelines have been set by medical professionals to stifle the growing rate of this terrible disease.
