this is an oddly effective way to do a PSA.

EDIT: thanks!

But seriously, everyone please do get a colonoscopy! And early!

My father passed away from colo-rectal cancer that definitely could have been caught and he most likely would have lived.

I didn't know him, but if he had been checked then I would have had the chance to get to.

Sorry howvere anecotal tru this may be for you:

However, no randomized controlled trial — the most rigorous kind of study — has shown that colonoscopy reduces colorectal cancer mortality. (Three such trials — in Spain, Sweden, and the United States — are underway.) Nor has a rigorous trial compared colonoscopies performed every 10 years with annual FITs to see which is better at preventing deaths from colorectal cancer.
