Colon Check

Quote a few years back I decided to ask my doctor about the home test kit Cologuard since I had previous good outcomes with my colonoscopies.

He agreed that I could definitely do this since there were no instances of colon cancer in my family. I ordered the test and followed the instructions. My test came back with good results.  Not long after that, my sister was diagnosed with colon cancer. After removal of part of her colon she was told she was clear of cancer and would not need radiation or chemo. She has been cancer free for many years now. I talked to my doctor about it and so to play it safe I went under anesthesia for a colonoscopy. My exam was good. I truly believe diet and exercise play a key role in keeping your colon healthy. Cologuard was good for me but the scary outcome of what happened to my sister changed my exam routine. I believe I can go back to using the Cologuard because I have a different lifestyle than she does. I think I eat a lot more healthier and get more exercise. That could play a big part in our family. Know your family and their medical history,and do what you think is right for you. Don't be afraid to use Cologuard. I trust it.
