I have been pretty lucky so far , was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2015 . Caught it very early , did radium seed implant with follow up localized radiation . Stopped it in its tracks ! Been getting colonoscopies since the age of 50 and every 3-5 years after . I am usually good for one or two polyps but always caught early enough to not be an issue . Wait too long and the results can be quite different. We all die of something but I prefer it to not be via prostate or colon cancer if at all possible .

My mom and dad both died of cancer so there is that history for me , but yearly checkup and generally staying fit will hopefully hold that off for me as long as possible .
