    Man, I am the same age and dodged a bullet a couple years back when I had a colonoscopy as part of a diagnosis for a different issue and they found a fast-growing pre-malignant polyp. The doc said for sure it would have been cancer within a year. I get checked every year now (until they tell me to stop, I guess).

    Fuck cancer.

      apparently your appendix can also develop cancer, but its very rare and different from colon, and happened to notable actors.
