I've just spent the last week at the hospital. My mother has colon cancer. The mass was 10 cm. in her ascending colon. She's 78. We are almost at the 2 year mark from my husbands colon cancer. I'm so sorry for the risk my kids have. My baby sister has already had a couple of polyps removed and she's only 43. My other sister was told during her last colonoscopy that because our father had ulcerative colitis and ended up with an ileostomy that we were all at higher risk for colon cancer.
We are all motivated to keep up regular scopes.
