Yes, thank you Cary for bringing up this issue.
I send best wishes to the LW - now you have all kinds of people thinking good thoughts for you.
My brother-in-law, in spite of having a mother who had colo-rectal cancer, did not get a screening until signs manifested themselves. Strange, becauuse this can be highly hereditary and highly curable if found early from what I understand.
So, peanut gallery, Carys advice is 100% right on this time!
