Today I did something really important for myself—and for my family. I had a colonoscopy.
--I’m sharing this because I hope it inspires you to consider doing the same. During my procedure, Dr. Morgan found three polyps. One of them needs further follow-up, which is exactly why the recommended age for colonoscopies has been lowered from 50 to 45!
--It’s a reminder of how vital these screenings are. It also reminded me that caring for our health is not just about ourselves—it’s an act of love for those who depend on us. Just imagine if that polyp had gone unnoticed and developed into cancer simply because I avoided the test. By choosing to be proactive, I’ve honored the life God has given me and offered peace of mind to my family.
--So please—think of it as a gift to yourself and to those who love you. Early detection saves lives. 💙
--BEGIN REGULAR SCREENING FOR COLORECTAL CANCER AT AGE 45! PRECANCEROUS GROWTHS THAT CAN BE REMOVED BEFORE THEY BECOME CANCER.
Thank you Dr. Morgan, Jay Burroff who did a good job of getting relaxed and to sleep; my special nurse Courtney Sneed RN who was so sweet and pleasant as always; and the whole positive experience started with Latika at the front desk who checked me in with professionalism and a smile. Colonoscopies have come a long way and you have no pain and no embarrassment!
The American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force both recommend that individuals at average risk begin regular screening for colorectal cancer at age 45.
• Risk factors: Those with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, certain polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, or a history of radiation to the abdomen or pelvis should talk to their doctor about starting screening even earlier.
• Early detection: Screening is a critical tool because it can detect precancerous growths that can be removed before they become cancer. When caught early, colorectal cancer has a very high cure rate.
