I saw a lot of articles like this in the past. My friend had colon cancer and survived, but it was tenuous.

So when I turned 48, I asked my doctor about a colonoscopy. He said, it's 50 now.

When I turned 50, I asked my doctor again. He said something along the lines of "we don't do colonoscopies without certain symptoms."

So now I'm 53. I wish I could get a different doctor. I fully support medicare in Canada, but it's very hard to find a physician, much less a different physician.
