Jman, I'm sure Kevin would be thrilled to know that someone found the confidence and resolve to visit his doctor to find out for sure if there were any problems. I can wholeheartedly recommend getting checked out. I've had two colonoscopies in the last 6 years and both times I've had polyps removed. Would this have helped Kevin find and beat this? Maybe, most likely absolutely. Early intervention seems to work real well with colon and prostate cancer. Unfortunately doctor's don't really recommend them until after age 45 without prior problems. If you have any concerns, then by all means see your doctor.
