I got 5 (count them five) invitations to do colonrectal swab. My primary physician badgered me so I got one at the clinic. Then I started getting offers in texts and in the mail. Finally my insurance sent me a kit. I call this an obsession or fetish.

For some, the obsession is called for. My Dutch father-in-law had a family history riddled with the stuff. He was active, fit, ate well, but didn't get a colonoscopy, dying of colon cancer at 53. (Both his parents died of it, too, and several of his brothers have had cancerous polyps caught early.) So, my wife gets tested, and I was tested once to ease her anxiety.
