Thanks to a genetic issue, I have to get scoped on an annual basis.
We have an extensive family history of colon cancer on my dad’s side. Definitely something genetic there.

I’ll have to do the same thing to keep on top of it.

Get a genetic test.

I received a recessive gene mutation (MUTYH) from both parents. What happens is that the body’s natural mechanism to repair a mutated dna sequence (the start of a polyp) doesn’t exist with me. Therefore I make polyps by the boatload.
