I have refused having a colonoscopy for years.

My doctor finally gave up.

Here I am-—83 years old.

My grand mother died of colon cancer at 83. If she had of had a colonoscopy she might have made it to 93.

My father had colon cancer at 84. He died at 94, nine and a half years later.

Ever since then I am told to have a colonoscopy every 5 years, but my siblings are only required to have one every 10 years. (Different doctors.)

“Here I am-—83 years old.”

Yes but the government says you are probably dead so why should we listen to you?
