This one really sucks. I really liked him after he pulled out of hollywood and moved to Texas. He had some great things to say at times. I know he was wrestling with spiritual things since his diagnosis and I am hoping he came to Christ at the end.

He played a pretty good cult leader on Criminal Minds.

Mox, Lance and Billy Bob are reunited on the gridiron in the sky. Someone check on Tweeder.

Agreed, however the current recommended age to start colonoscopy's is currently 45. this was discovered in him right at or before that age. By then it apparently progressed to the point where it was a losing battle.

Catherine O'Hara also died of complications from rectal cancer, just FYI. Get checked.

It’s horrible. Three years older than my friends and I. One has been going through chemo for a year for basically the same thing for a year. Diagnosed at 44.

I would definitely start before then. My cousin was around 40-41 when he found his. Luckily it was Stage 2. He’s fine now.

I have Ulcerative Colitis and have to do scopes every 2 years. I’m 33. Colon Cancer is one of the slower developing cancers so it takes time before it accelerates so I’d start going in mid to late thirties and do a scope every 3-4 years or so for the general population.
