The best way to beat cancer is to catch it early. That is why lifesaving cancer screening can help reduce mortality rates. I am one of the 11 million cancer survivors living in the United States, and I know first hand the importance of early detection as I am one of those stupid people that choose to ignore having a colonoscopy at age 50.
Oh, I had all the other screenings done as recommended over the years, but for some reason - too busy, I guess, or didn't place the value and importance of the testing and thinking that "colon cancer just couldn't happen to me" - I just never had the test.
Boy, was I wrong. My first colonoscopy at age 63 found stage 4 colon cancer, and my life as I knew it changed forever.
