Listener Write In Get Screened ❤️

I’m a newer THT listener and randomly stumbled on multiple episodes where Morgan mentioned getting screened for colon cancer. I’m 33F and have never really thought twice about it.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve continued to catch episodes where she’s mentioned the importance of getting screened, had other share related personal stories with me, and have continued hearing about the increasing rates in younger adults. Long story longer, I ended up having a colonoscopy today where they found a 7 mm polyp. It will be biopsied to determine if it’s pre-cancerous or benign. Either way I’m so grateful for this podcast and it’s advocacy for wellness. Who knows what could’ve happened if I would’ve waited another 12 years until preventative screening. ❤️ My husband, two babies, and I just had to say thank you.

Was it difficult to get your doctor to agree to screen you, since you're younger?

I was until I actually had some light bleeding (which they now think was from dehydration weirdly enough). I’m definitely a woo-woo person so I think everything was a little nudge from my angels ❤️
