I was diagnosed at 34. It’s been recommended my kids have their first colonoscopy at 24.

My coworker was only 22 and he seems to be doing fine physically and mentally 4 years later. His dad did have colon cancer as did mine and my sibling. Just had two polyps removed and I have a colonoscopy every 3 years! That's fast growth! However having it so young - who's recommending colonoscopies for 20 and 30 years olds? I hope they become routine of there's a family history. So many people are being dx at younger and younger ages. It's all the processed refined fatty food we eat

Yes you are right. Since my diagnosis and all that went with it my daughter got a colonoscopy at 36 years old. She had to really talk to the Insurance company. Finally they approved it.
