If you or a loved one are 50 or older and have not yet had a colonoscopy, talk to your doctor and get one before the end of the year while your insurance deductibles are met, or close there to.
If you are younger than 50, but have symptoms (http://bit.ly/cBZOl5) or a family history of colon cancer or polyps, talk to your doctor about getting one NO LATER THAN age 40. One of the following articles is about someone whose life was saved by a colonoscopy at age 37.
If you have any of the symptoms mentioned in the link above, (regardless of your age) talk to a doctor RIGHT AWAY. Don't wait! Early detection makes all the difference!
