I have my T levels checked every year along with my prostate and thyroid. All gold on that front

I thought we didn't have to get the camera up the chute until 50? I've been thinking, thank God I have 8 years left before that.

my doctor has been monitoring my levels every year and watching for abnormal results.

Fallguy,
The new recommendation, from the American Cancer Society, for colonoscopy is 45. I don't know if the docs or insurance companies are allowing/pushing this new recommendation or not since a couple of other groups are staying with the 50-75 recommendations.

I know if I had a colonoscopy at 45 I would be in much better shape now. I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at 48.
Don't put it off, the consequences can be dire
