from stage iv colon cancer. He had kept the battle private. Roh holds the record for most consecutive starts as a UM player, starting in 51 straight games. One of the few bright spots from an otherwise bad era for the program.

RIP Craig.

Former Michigan football defensive standout Craig Roh, who played for the Wolverines from 2009-12 in multiple positions on defense, died on Monday at the age of 33, according to a social media post from his wife on Wednesday.
His wife, Chelsea, announced the news on Craig's X account, saying he had Stage IV colon cancer for 18 months. His family started a GoFundMe to raise funds for Chelsea and their 2-year-old son Max, along with helping cover medical expenses. The fundraiser had raised more than $80,000 as of Wednesday afternoon. According to GoFundMe, Roh had been privately battling his advanced colon cancer diagnosis for the past year and a half, going through chemotherapy and clinical treatments.

Roh was a four-year starter for the Wolverines and set the record for the most consecutive starts in program history at 51 while moving between outside linebacker, defensive end, and defensive tackle. Roh did not miss a game while playing for the Wolverines over his four-year career

RIP Craig.

It is almost just as likely to have your health negatively impacted from discovery of a disease that would not progress with the same negative impact as the medicine that is applied does. Double edged sword sometimes.

Geez. Sad to hear this news. I certainly remember him playing at UM. I'm also his age at 33. This makes me want to get checked. Prayers for his family.

I had to have a colonoscopy due to severe bleeding and breathed a huge sigh of relief it was just hemorrhoids

Good buddy of mine, age 40 with 3 girls, just got diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
Asked him what the symptoms were. He basically said bloody stools.
I immediately got mine checked (just turned 40). I had 5 polyps. Got the call Monday they were benign. Said to come back in THREE years.
Never too early to get your shite checked. Literally.

medical field has wanted men to get checked as early as 35-40, Insurance and their medical allies don't want to be paying for that shite at 35, so they continue the charade that 50 is when u should be checked.

Sometimes you run into serious issues with false positives, brought about by early testing. I think people would be pretty alarmed if they did the math and found out how many false positives are produced by common tests.
This is not the poli board so I don't want to make this political, but my healthcare plan stops the insurance companies from throttling access to these tests and lets people go get one if they want one. I think one's peace of mind is important and if you want everything tested, regardless of the guidelines, you should be able to do that. I feel for people with a family history of things that get shut down by insurance companies as they want to test early and often. It just seems cruel.
