I thought if you had a parent who had colon cancer, they recommended screening every three to five years. I have Kaiser and last had one at 67 - my first and only. My father died of colon cancer which spread to his liver and brain. My last colonoscopy couldn't be completed because of diverticulosis and I had to do the barium X-ray thing and have since done the crap on a toothpick once a year. My primary care guy scheduled me for another one about three years after the one at 67. The doc who does it cancelled it saying they did one every ten years. When I talked to him, I mentioned my father and he said it would still be ten years. So I'm supposedly due for one this coming year.
