 Colon cancer runs in my family on my mom's side - 2 great uncles died
 from it, and my mother was successfully treated years ago. I've been
 getting regular colonoscopies since I was 40. I'm 54 now.

 The laxative prep is a pain, but given that beer is OK beforehand,
 living on jello, broth and beer is an interesting experience.
